West Nile Virus Precautions

The BVSD Health Services Staff wants everyone to come back to work and school next fall healthy and happy. But that can all be changed by a single bite from a mosquito carrying the West Nile Virus. Educate yourself about the risk and the precautions you can take. Visit www.bouldercountymosquito.net for more information.

Emergency Information

It is extremely important that the Emergency Information form be returned to school on the first day. Please complete and sign the entire form. Include any medications prescribed for your child, whether or not they are given during the school day. Also describe any health conditions which may affect your child’s school routine or performance.

It is important that two emergency contacts are listed. Be sure to notify the office with any changes in emergency information and phone numbers: both home and work. If your child is ill, he or she may only be released to those listed on the Emergency Information card. If you will be out of town, please call and inform office staff in writing to report who will be caring for your child in your absence.

Health Room Volunteers

We are in need of volunteers to adequately manage the health room functions. First Aid certification from an approved agency is necessary for anyone who will provide care to students. Red Cross classes are offered free of charge for volunteers. First Aid certification is NOT needed to help with only the paperwork in the health room. Please contact your health room or office staff if you are able to help in any way, and would like to receive information regarding training.
