Proper rest, diet and overall good general health is essential for
your adolescent’s education. If your child is not feeling his best, he
or she will not receive the most from his or her education. As
youngsters grow into adolescence and enter the high school years, time
management skills becomes increasingly important. Unfortunately,
proper diet and rest tend to be overlooked with the demands of
activities, work out side of the home and the rigors of academics.
Students complain frequently of headaches or stomachaches they could
easily be relieved by proper rest and eating a nutritious breakfast
before arriving to school. Parents can help at home by having
nutritious foods and snacks available for the active teen.

Communicable diseases can also be spread easily through a school
environment although we try to prevent this as much as possible. We
encourage proper hygiene and continue to educate students on not
sharing drinks or eating utensils. Most importantly, we ask that your
child stay at home when he is ill. We recognize that missed school
work may be hard to make up, but in the interest of all students we
ask that you use good judgment in keeping your ill child home. Please
keep in mind that the Brandywine School District has strict guidelines
for absences, but if you and your teen use sound judgment, excused
absences allow for all work to be completed.
