| February STAYCATION at AHS: Register NOW |
| Help us prevent the spread of illness and infection! |
To prevent the spread of illness and infection, Academy Hill follows CDC recommendations regarding sick days and attendance.
A child should be fever-free (below 100.4) for at least 24 hours, without the aid of any fever-reducing medication, before attending school.
Additionally, a child should not attend school for at least 24 hours after vomiting.
At AHS, we will call home for a low-grade fever if it is accompanied by other symptoms.

Sat, Jan 27,
in recognition for everything he has done with Team BAM to benefit Baystate Children's Hospital.
To top it off, the night Ben is receiving his award is Marvel Night with the Thunderbirds! The Thunderbirds saved Ben's award for this night so he may be seen among all the Superheroes of the evening. But we know Ben is the bravest Superhero of ALL!
