Parent Drop Off and Pick Up Reminder
Parent drop off is from 8:25-8:45 AM. Once the bell rings at 8:45 AM, staff members must close the doors to begin teaching. If the door is closed, you must bring your child(ren) to the main office and sign your child(ren) in as being tardy.
Please DO NOT enter into the parking lot and turn left into the circle in the front of the school. For everyone's safety, when dropping off your child(ren) in the morning or picking up your child(ren) in the afternoon, you must follow the route and go around the parking lot and playground staying in line of the cones.
Attendance/Late to School Procedures
If your child will be absent OR late to school, please complete the electronic attendance form or email attendancenhuf@boyertownasd.org (preferably before 9:00 AM). The electronic attendance form can be found on our school's website. Students who are brought to school late will need to be accompanied by an adult and signed in at the office.

From the Nurse's Desk - April
Below you will find information regarding health room procedures. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the health room nurses at 610-473-1770.
Medication Information: If your child requires prescription or over-the-counter medication while at school, a medication authorization form must be completed by your physician. Once completed, please submit the paperwork, then contact the health room to schedule an appointment to drop off your child’s medication. Prescription medications must be in an original pharmacy labeled container. Over-the-counter medication must be in original packaging. Please refer to the BASD website for more information.
Returning Paperwork: Please return any health room forms (Physical, Dental, Medication) via email if possible. You can scan and email the original document or email a photograph from your phone to dwilson@boyertownasd.org or ekovach@boyertownasd.org
* Change of clothing: Please keep a change of clothing in your child’s backpack, regardless of their age. Clothing can become soiled due to a bathroom accident, fall outside in the mud, or because of spilling food/drink. The health room may not have appropriately sized clothing, so if your child does have an accident of any sort, a parent will be called to bring clothing in for the child.
