Dear Parents/Guardians,
Due to the safety of our students we will NO longer allow students to be picked up in the office at 3:15 unless student has an appointment. We will also need an excuse from the appointment for that day. Any student that is picked up at 3:15 or later will need to be picked up in the Red Tag rider lane. If you do not have a tag you may come in and fill one out in the front office. Reminder, morning drop offs are at the East side door. No parent drop offs in the front of the building until after 8:05 A.M. This will help to ensure the safety of our students being dismissed to their busses. Thank you for making student safety a top priority at Owingsville Elementary.

Parents/Guardians: If you have changed your phone number please notify the health unit so we can update your child’s records.

Just a reminder: If any student needs to take prescription medication at school you MUST have an additional consent form filled out and signed at the health unit (this goes for inhalers too). We cannot administer any prescribed medication without this consent signed. All medication must be in the original container with the prescription label attached. Also, students are not allowed to bring prescription meds on the school bus. Thank you!

Any prescription medication kept in the health unit must be picked up by a parent or guardian by 3:00 PM on Monday, June 1st. If not, the medication will bdiscarded. Inhalers are the only medication that can be sent home with the student. Please call the health unit with any questions.

Happy Birthday

The BCHS Baseball Team has an opportunity to play an exhibition baseball game against Mason Co. in Whittaker Bank Park, home of the Lexington Legends professional baseball team. Playing in such a beautiful park is every player’s desire.

There is a fee for each team to participate in these exhibitions. To cover part of the cost of using the facility the team is selling tickets to an upcoming Legends baseball game. They will be selling a block of 150 tickets priced for $7.00 each. This is a chance to support this year’s team and to pick up some tickets to the May 22nd Lexington Legends Baseball game vs. Hagerstown which is also the Jose Canseco Night & Home Run Derby and concludes with Friday Fireworks at the park. So grab some tickets and share a game experience with co-workers, friends and family.
