Keep your child at home if they are showing any kind of symptoms of a cold, allergies or the flu. Report these symptoms to the school nurse (nurse@sallieb.net) as well as your child’s teacher. They will instruct you on what to do.
No. As of the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, masks are optional at SBH.
In addition to requiring masks, we administer temperature checks at the front entrance and before boarding the bus. Enhanced air filtration has been installed in the HVAC system campus-wide. Each classroom is equipped with a freestanding air purifier. Hand sanitizer stations and hygiene supplies are positioned throughout the campus.
Unvaccinated staff are not required to test for COVID-19.
Many local pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens) offer free COVID testing. Some accept walk-ins and others require an appointment. Contact those locations for details.
Contact the school nurse immediately at nurse@sallieb.net or call the school at 252-293-4150. DO NOT send your child to school before you speak with the school nurse. The nurses will advise you on what to do next.
