Guide to BPS: New this year, the Boston Public Schools is encouraging families to view the annual “Guide to the Boston Public Schools” and fill out the necessary back-to- school forms by accessing the BPS website at www.bostonpublicschools.org/familyguide The Guide is available in English and nine other languages. This helpful guidebook contains summaries of many of the district’s policies, programs, and services. A separate booklet contains forms that need to be completed by parents, or students 18 or over. The online form is available at www.bostonpublicschools.org/contact We encourage you to go online to complete the form for each of your children as soon as possible. A limited number of the printed guides, as well as booklets containing the forms, will be available at our school office for the families of students who are new to the district or do not have access to the Internet. We thank you for your cooperation.

A Note from the Curley Nurses:

• Please submit in your child’s submit most recent physicals, immunization forms and emergency forms.
• If your child requires medication to be administered at school like an EpiPen for allergies or inhaler for asthma, please bring in the medications with doctor’s orders. Without a doctor’s order we cannot give any medications at school.
• An adult is required to bring medication into the school not a student, as a safety precaution. Medications with the exception of emergency medications are only to administered by a nurse. If families have any questions or concerns, please contact the nurses or administrative staff.

For more information you can email our nurses April and Keilah at Apumphret@bostonpublicschools.org and ksantana@bostonpublicschools.org
