End of Year Medication Reminder
If your student has medication in the school office, it must be picked up by the last day of school. We cannot be responsible for any medication left in the school office over the summer. The entire Bacich office is relocating to the new building and we will be packing everything for the move.
Remember, if your student requires any medication, including over the counter medication, an Authorization to Administer form must be completed and signed with your health care provider. The medication provided needs to be in the original container and labeled with your child’s name.
Thank you and have a wonderful, healthy summer!

We invite all parents to visit the BTI website at www.betheinfluence.us where you will find valuable information on:
- Data on substance use in our high schools;
- State and local laws imposing civil and criminal liability on minors and adults;
- Tips on how to talk with your child about substance use;
- Tips on setting boundaries, monitoring your child and effective consequences;
- Tips on how to host parties and what to do when your child attends parties;
- Research on the effect of allowing kids to experiment at home or at teen parties;

Contribute to the Bacich Teacher Fund
As the school year comes to an end, we would like to carry on the tradition of thanking those Bacich employees who play an important and vital role in our children’s education but are often overlooked, such as custodians, learning specialists, library, art, technology, P.E. and office staff. This optional gift is completely voluntary and is simply an end-of-year thank you gift for our school staff.
