BHS Offers Sports Physicals


The Braintree High School Athletic Department is offering sports physicals for all BHS student-athletes on Tuesday, August 19th, at 10:00 a.m. Sports physicals will take place in the nurse's office at the high school for a fee of $ 10.00. Athletes are reminded to complete and return the Interscholastic Registration/Permission/Medical Form.

By rule 56.1 Student Eligibility: Physical Examinations/Medical Coverage in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association's Blue Handbook: All students must pass a physical examination within thirteen months of the start of each season. Students who meet this criteria at the start of the season will remain eligible for that season. Physical examinations must be performed by a duly registered Physician, Physician's Assistant or Nurse Practitioner.

Remember: A sports physical does not replace an annual physical exam provided by your primary care provider.

 Athletic Department Proactive in Handling "EEE" and West Nile Virus Threat

With concern regarding Eastern Equine Encephalitis (“EEE”) and/or West Nile Virus (“WNV”) – both of which are mosquito born viruses that can be a serious health threat to the public particularly during dusk to dawn hours, The Braintree High School Athletic Department has decided that regular season outdoor night home contests for the Fall will be delayed until Friday, October 17th.

While taking into serious consideration the Braintree Board of Health’s recommendation to curtail outdoor recreational activities during peak mosquito hours from dusk to dawn in the summer and fall, The Braintree High School Athletic Department feels this decision is in the best interest for the safety and well-being of our student-athletes. Fall schedules can be found at www.highschoolsports.net

.

With the help of a grant from the Board of Health, a large supply of insect repellent spray bottles and wipes have been sent to Braintree High School and will be utilized by the Athletic Department to assist in precautionary measures against these mosquito born viruses. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that individuals should wear long sleeve pants and shirts, as well as use mosquito repellents when outdoors.

Announcement
Back To School –September 2008

The return to school marks so many changes in our family and professional lives. Whether it’s a student going off to college, high school or that first day in elementary school, the anxiety and excitement is only matched with a calendar that is a dramatic change from July and August. We hope that you find the transition from summer vacation mode to school season manageable. We hope that through our phone message system and accessing our website gpvillage.com/bhs will assist in keeping you informed as to dates and events on the school calendar.

The new school year welcomes 20 new faculty members who will enhance teaching and learning at BHS. These professionals bring personal experiences, current training in instruction and technology and a professional enthusiasm that will make a long lasting contribution to our school. I ask our school community to welcome them to Braintree, if and when the chance arises. Show them the Braintree Way

As the final chapter is closed on the 2007-2008 school year, I want to commend the Class of 2008 for their leadership, academic excellence and contributions to our school. We wish them well on their future endeavors. They are well prepared to make a positive contribution to our community and society.

To members of the Class of 2009, 2010 & 2011, I ask that you return to BHS with the same enthusiasm and focus in meeting the expectations of our school. Establishing personal goals for your academic and social/emotional growth is extremely important in meeting the new challenges ahead. The sky is the limit and the support is plentiful at BHS. Apply our PRIDE Mission statement in everything you do and provide a living example for our Class of 2012. They will follow your leadership.

To members of the Class of 2012; you are soon to begin a journey that will provide you meaningful life experiences and prepare you to meet the learning expectations for success. With guidance and support from our faculty and our student body you will have a wonderful freshmen year. Remember the importance of building partnerships, understand the importance of being respectful and responsible, chose to be involved in student life at BHS, appreciate and learn from the differences of those individuals you encounter and strive for educational excellence.
