The goal of the school health program is to support student learning in a safe, healthy environment.
You can help ensure the health and safety of all BRMS students by:
- Notifying your school nurse of any health concerns or chronic health condition that may affect your child's school day.
- Following PWCS regulations when requesting medication to be given to your child during the school day.
- Providing current emergency contact information for your student, keeping the emergency card updated at all times.
- Notifying school personnel if your child is absent due to a contagious illness.
- Keeping sick students at home (see Reg. 757-1) and supporting school staff in keeping well children in school.
- Notifying PE teachers directly if your child has any PE restrictions.
- Encouraging good hygiene/hand washing practices at home and school
