On Monday BHIS will be open during normal hours for any student needing meal services.
Grab and Go lunches will be served between 11:00am – 1:00pm.
School Starts on Tuesday! (Jan. 4 2022)
In the event that one of your children has tested positive. Everything will continue to be the same as before, you will need to contact the school. Throughout the week, PCR testing and antigen rapid testing will be available at BHIS for students.
While all testing is voluntary, it is strongly recommended that you take advantage of these testing clinics if you are able to. As with this new Omicron strain symptoms can be mild and sometimes there are no symptoms, but it can still be transmitted even by someone without symptoms. So let’s continue to use all the tools available to keep our children safe.
If you need to get your child’s 1st or 2nd vaccination, you can schedule with Othello Station Pharmacy as well as through the Odessa Brown program at BHIS.
