A Note from the Health Office:
If your child has seasonal allergies please get a note from his/her pediatrician to our school nurses to keep on file. Per NHDHHS, we are obligated to dismiss any student for covid testing if they are experiencing symptoms UNLESS we have an MD note on file stating your child has a preexisting condition of seasonal allergies. Our nurses are only doing their jobs when they have to call home, so please be kind and respectful to them.
Bedford Food Pantry Summer Assistance:
With the end of the school year right around the corner, the Bedford Community Food Pantry will be providing food boxes to students over the summer, as needed. These boxes, containing 28 meals and including items such as cereal, mac and cheese, peanut butter, tuna, etc, are available for monthly pick up by parents. Boxes can be picked up weekdays from 8a to 2p at Memorial School, or during the weekly Bedford Community Food Pantry hours from 9a to 11a on Saturdays.
