New Raptor System

The system for securely signing guests into District buildings has been updated. All previously entered identification for visitors has been deleted and will need to be rescanned. Please remember to bring your ID the next time you visit the school so that we can get your information back into our system.
Reminders from the Health Office

If your child has sustained an injury that requires them to be treated by a physician, please provide the health office with activity restrictions from their doctor. This allows us to know what your child may or may not participate in for PE and recess. Once your child’s injury is healed, a note from their doctor clearing them from the original restrictions must be turned in to the health office.

All prescribed and over-the-counter medications MUST be accompanied by a doctor's order. A NEW order is required for each new school year. The order must have the name of the medication, dosage, and when it is to be administered. Nurses may not administer medication without a doctor's order - NO exceptions. A request for medication administration form MUST also be signed by a parent/guardian for any medication to be administered by the nurses at school. The medication must be brought in by a parent, or another responsible adult, to the health office. Medication may not be carried during the school day by students unless there is an order for self-carry inhalers or EpiPens.
Fall Family Night
September 13, 5-7 pm

During this fun-filled evening, you can visit with teachers and staff and enjoy lots of fun activities for the family including face painting, the Bradford Woods Fire Department, and Coach Dave Gray Sports!

District Updates
Updates to Emergency Contact Information in Tyler SIS

Emergency contact information in Tyler SIS needs to be reviewed at the beginning of each school year. This information includes phone numbers (home/work/cell), email addresses, and emergency contacts. Additionally, parents/guardians can designate individuals who are permitted to pick up their student from school. This is especially important for emergency situations as students will not be released to individuals who are not listed within the Tyler SIS account. These updates cannot be made in the Tyler 360 app.
