ISO Postcards

The BMS Postcrossing account has sent and also received 34 postcards to/from 23 countries around the world. The PTO has generously been supporting this program to pay for postage and postcards purchased at Gordon's.

You can see many of these cards and the messages people have written on the BMS Postcrossing blog.

We would love to get some postcard donations with images of the local area (Beverly, the North Shore, Boston, Massachusetts), as well as cards featuring art, sports, animals, and more that we can use to send to people! They must be unused postcards and not be folded notecards. 

If you have some postcards that you can donate to us, please contact Ms. Woznick (awoznick@beverlyschools.org).

Travel Order Reminder

As a reminder, if you have traveled out of state during vacation, the state requires returning residents who do not meet an exemption to quarantine for 10 days or produce a negative COVID-19 test result that has been administered up to 72-hours prior to your arrival in Massachusetts. Details on the Massachusetts travel order are online

Gr 7 Family Reminders

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health requires that all students in grade 7 (as well as 1, 4, and 10) have a current copy of their updated immunizations and physical exam on file in the school’s Health Office.

We are asking that you please send in a copy of your child’s most recent physical exam with a record of their updated immunizations. You can also email a copy of these items to ktobyne@beverlyschools.org

If your child has a physical exam scheduled in the near future, please send in a copy to the Health office as soon as their exam is completed. You can also have the doctor’s office fax a copy to the school’s health office at fax# 978-529-2170.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
June Kazes, District Nurse Leader
