Boyertown Elementary

The 5th graders at Colebrookdale reviewed decimal operations with buying products at the local Colebrookdale Market. Students worked in pairs and picked different items around the market working on their adding, multiplying, and subtracting decimals. They enjoyed this real-life Math practice with the support of Boyertown's Redners Warehouse Market, supplying them with shopping baskets.

Dear Parents & Guardians,

We have been working really hard on special art projects at school, and we can’t wait to show them to you!

Our school has teamed up with Art to Remember, and they can transfer our artwork onto keepsake products like mugs, keychains, and necklaces. First, we’ll bring home an order form (Oct 25th) with our artwork printed on the cover, and then you can order from over 50 products! Orders will be due by November 8th. The keepsakes make great gifts for family and friends. Plus, every purchase helps raise money for our school!

Love,
The Kiddos at CES

FROM THE NURSE’S DESK

Below are a couple of reminders for this upcoming school year. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the health room nurses at 610-473-5270.

Physical & Dental Forms: All state mandated Kindergarten and 3rd grade private dental forms and all Kindergarten private physical exam forms are due now. If you have an upcoming appointment, please notify the health room of the appointment and we will make note of the date in your child’s record.

Medication Information: If your child requires prescription or over-the-counter medication while at school, a medication authorization form (found on the BASD website) must be completed by your physician. Once completed, please submit the paperwork, and 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 either dwilson@boyertownasd.org or cbohner@boyertownasd.org

Change of Clothing: Please consider keeping a change of clothing in your child’s backpack. 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.

Food/Snacks: Please remind your child(ren) not to share lunch and/or snacks. There are several students with food allergies and/or food sensitivities.

Recess/PE shoes: Please remind your child(ren) to wear closed toe and comfortable shoes as they will be going outside for recess as the weather allows (please discourage crocs and sandals). Sneakers are encouraged for PE class.

If your child is not feeling well, please keep them at home. If your child arrives at school not feeling well (and does not have a fever), they will be encouraged to try to complete the school day.

When to keep your child home:

As stated in the BASD Student Handbook, if your child exhibits any of the following symptoms, it is recommended that you keep your child home from school and consult with the child’s primary health care provider:

1. A cough interfering with your child’s sleep or ability to participate in school activities

2. A cough that is productive and has phlegm or is associated with fever or trouble breathing.

3. Fever: A temperature equal to or greater than 100 degrees without the use of a fever reducing medication. Please note that the student’s temperature should remain normal without the use of fever reducing medication for 24 hours prior to the return to school.

4. Nausea, Vomiting or diarrhea

5. Unusual skin eruptions, hives or rash.

6. Redness or drainage from the eyes.

Head Lice: Although lice cannot jump, they are easily transmittable through hugging, sharing combs, sharing hats and coats, etc. Please remind your child not to share items such as these with other students.

We know this is a lot of information, so if you have any questions, please let us know.
