Child
Nutritional Services
Brazosport ISD serves healthy, nutritious meals at each
district campus. Meals are designed to be
appealing to students while providing nourishment for
growing bodies. Meal prices are $1.50 for
Elementary/Middle School Lunch and $1.75 for Secondary
Lunch. Breakfast for all campuses is $1.00.
Menus will be distributed on Meet the Teacher Day
or the first day of school.
For your convenience, Brazosport ISD uses a computerized
meal account system to make daily lunch money a thing of
the past. Students may deposit money into their
account for purchase of meals and extra items. In
addition, parents have the option of blocking purchases
of drink or snack items and may request a copy or their
student's account transactions. Please contact the
Cafeteria Manager at your child's campus for details.
Brazosport ISD Child Nutrition Services participates in
the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program.
Through these programs, free and reduced meals are
available to students whose families meet certain income
criteria. Meal applications are available at every
school and the Child Nutrition Office. Students
who were approved for free or reduced price meals for
the 2002-2003 school year may continue to receive
benefits until Friday, September 12, 2003 at which time
a new application must be approved for meal benefits to
continue. (For
more information, see
Child Nutrition Services)
Immunization
Students enrolling in the
Brazosport Independent School District must comply with
Texas State Law. Evidence of compliance with the
immunization requirements must be validated by a doctor
who is registered and licensed or by a public health
clinic.
Previously enrolled students should have received
notification regarding updating of immunizations.
For further information, parents should contact their
physician, the health department, or their school nurse.
Immunization deadline for the current school year is
the first day of school (August 14, 2003).
(See
Health Services for more information)
Medication at School
All prescription or non-prescription medication
(including aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, etc.) must be
furnished by the parent and kept in the nurse's office.
Written instructions signed by a parent and/or doctor
must accompany all labeled medicines sent to school.
The nurse or nurse assistant will observe students
taking medicine. Medications are not to be carried
or possessed on campus by any student.

Foreign Exchange
Students
From BISD's Insight Newsletter
May 2003 |
|
The world became a smaller place this
school year with six foreign exchange students in BISD.
They are all girls, all juniors at Brazoswood High
School, and all headed back to their homelands in early
summer. They’ve missed their friends and family from
home, but have enjoyed making new friends here. Among
the things they say they’ll miss about our little corner
of the world are new friends, their host parents, free
refills on soft drinks, lockers (they had never had them
before), and warm weather.
Christiana Haegele (who says she’ll miss Dr. Pepper and
the Buccaneer Belles; not necessarily in that order)
hails from Munderhingen, Germany and has been the guest
of David and Rhonda Hearne. She hopes to attend at least
one year of college in the USA. Paula Menke is from
Rheda-Wiedenbrueck, Germany, and wants to major in
journalism; she lives in the home of James and Linda
Alexander. Margarete Misch, from Erfurt, Germany, lives
with Melissa and Rickey Dahl and plans to become a
teacher of music and English. Louise Rohde, from Bad
Suederode, Germany, plans to study art in college. Her
host parents are Wes and Susan James. Ines Scheidegg
comes from Muelheim, Germany, plans to study economics
in college, and wants to manage hotels one day. Her host
parents are Jim and Becky Noone. Berivan Sengul, the
only non-German in the group, is from Istanbul, Turkey
and will return there to study mechanical engineering.
She lives in the home of Eric and Lucilla Henderson.
Christiana, Paula, Margarete, Louise and Ines all have
two more years of high school to complete in Germany,
and Berivan will go straight to the university in
Istanbul when she gets home. They all have very positive
things to say about their experiences here, and all
intend to return to the United States to visit sometime.
The community of BISD has been fortunate to have these
fine young ladies with us this year, and we wish them
safe journeys home and successful futures. |
