Together we ROAR! - Resilience, Ownership, Acceptance, Respect
Hello everyone,
We want to share an update on our school dismissal procedures. Beginning immediately, BMS staff will no longer be directing traffic on Bow Center Road. We will continue to manage traffic within the school parking lot. Officer Shutter and/or Bow PD will be present as often as possible. However, in the event they are unavailable, we need everyone to recognize that the dismissal process may take slightly longer. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we implement this adjustment.

From the Health Office:
8th Grade Parent/Guardians of school sponsored sport players:
It is a Bow High School athletics requirement that all athletes have a physical examination by a physician certifying that they can participate in interscholastic athletics dated after February 1st of their 8th grade year to participate in BHS athletics.
Convenient MD offers $25.00 Physicals Convenient MD
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the High School.
6th Grade Parents:
It is still a NH State requirement that proof of TDAP and a new physical examination be submitted to the health office prior to the start of the 7th grade year. The 6th grade year physical will work! Typically, the TDAP is given during this physical as well. Please submit your student's physical and immunization record as you get them this year. You may upload both of these items in to the SNAP Health Portal, even with a clear cell phone picture or drop off a copy to the health office.
Just a reminder to all parents/guardians:
All health offices in SAU 67 are using the SNAP Health Portal. The SNAP program itself sends out reminders to update your contacts (emergency contacts)- we are aware that you can not delete things but if something needs to be changed let us know. The program also sends out other reminders. We have no control over that. Please bookmark this link. Its also on the SAU website under all the individual school health pages.
Each July 1st medication permissions reset (safety issue) so every school year they need to be filled out again. Cough drops, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Orajel, bacitracin ointment, tums etc need to be “opted” in. Please log in and familiarize yourself with the program.
