ShellStrong Day! The
Stevens Student Council coordinated a day of
celebration for our SuperStar Jacob Shell in October.
A proud banner hung over our front door, and the
students and staff were sporting orange ribbons of
support, as well as wristbands and t-shirts.
There was a coin drive at recess, with donations
going to the Shell family. Our Stevens
Community often comes together to find ways to
assist those in need, and this was our way of showing
our heartfelt support for Jacob and his family.
Jacob -- Be Well! Be Strong!! We love
you!!! |

Reminders from the Nurse:
Students in kindergarten, second and fourth
grades plus any students new to the district
must submit a completed school physical form.
(Click here for a pdf copy of this form.)
Parents: please send completed physical forms and
immunization records to the nurse as soon as
possible.
Also, remember that medications given
during the school day need to come in the
original bottle with a written doctor's notice.
All medications must be delivered by an adult. |

Safety measure:
Elementary pupils must attend sports events with an
adult Burnt Hills-Ballston
Lake parents are advised that 8th grade and younger
pupils may not attend evening varsity
interscholastic sports events without an
adult. This proactive policy change was made
due to a growing number of youngsters being left
unsupervised at games and more incidents of
fighting, belligerence and other inappropriate
behavior.
