College Express Updates

College Express Classes will be meeting at DACC this fall. Classes will be limited to 9 students, but where possible, extra sections will be created to accommodate larger classes and/or sections will be split in some way to maintain social distancing
College Express students will need to arrive on campus, go directly to their classroom, and then from their classroom to their car. Students will not be allowed to visit Subway or wander the campus.
Students will have their temperatures taken prior to entering the building in which they have class.

Freshmen & Seniors - Information from Nurse Kelly (kstrader@bismarck.k12.il.us)

FRESHMEN - ALL incoming freshmen need a school physical. Incoming freshmen will not require a sports physical if they are playing sports because the school physical is sufficient. All incoming freshmen must have their vaccinations up-to-date. If you do not know if your vaccinations are up-to-date, please contact your primary care provider.
SENIORS - All seniors require their 2nd meningococcal vaccine. If a meningococcal vaccine was received after the age of 16, a 2nd meningococcal vaccine is not necessary. If a meningococcal vaccine was received in sixth grade, which is common practice for sixth graders, the second meningococcal vaccine is due the first day of senior year. The required meningococcal vaccine covers meningitis A, C, W and Y. The vaccine for meningitis B, often called Bexsero, is not required.

SAT Update

ISBE has notified us that the SAT with essay will be administered to all students in the class of 2021 on October 14th at BHRA. We are hoping to be able to provide SAT review sessions as well, more information will be given once school starts.

Sports Physicals

Sports physicals are still required this year. Please make your appointments asap. IHSA has not extended the deadlines on physicals. There will not be physicals done at BHRA this year. If your student is an incoming freshman, their school physical will work for athletics this school year.
