Burlington Area School District - Health Services Department

Back-to-School Information

As we prepare for back-to-school for the 20-21 school year, BASD is developing new procedures to assist in keeping students and staff safe. Please review this Welcome Health Letter with information about ensuring your student is healthy for school, how to call in absences, health room procedures, and more. Thank you for helping the district provide a healthy environment in our schools.

Purpose:

To enhance the student educational process by preventing, removing, or limiting barriers to student learning, while promoting decision making that leads to an optimal level of health.

Measles Awareness

Two doses of Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine provide the best protection against disease. These doses must be separate by at least 28 days. MMR vaccine is routinely recommended between 12-15 months and the second dose before entering school, at 4-6 years. Waivers to the school requirements are available for religious, health, and personal conviction reasons. However, in the event of an outbreak of measles students with waivers may be excluded from school until the outbreak is declared over. For more information, click on the title above.
