Health Center

Burroughs has a health center/athletic training room located in the Cissel Center that is under the direction of a licensed physician, a registered nurse, and an athletic trainer. These health care professionals are available to handle all injuries and/or sudden illnesses occurring during school hours and during home athletic contests.

As health care professionals, it is our responsibility and goal to provide health care services to all students, faculty, and staff while promoting the connection between health, athletics, and academic achievement.

COVID-19 Protocols & Procedures

Masking & Vaccination Policies

If Your Student Is Sick

It is extremely important that all students and employees stay home if they are experiencing any COVID or flu-like symptoms. Testing is recommended for people with symptoms of COVID-19 as soon as possible after symptoms begin.

ISOLATION
Those who test positive must isolate for five days from the onset of symptoms, or the date of diagnosis if asymptomatic. If symptom-free after day 5, activities can be resumed on campus so long as the individual remains masked through day 10 (including for athletics).

Those who choose not to test after day 5 will be required to wear a mask when in close contact with others through day 10.
Those who choose to test and receive a negative test after day 5 can discontinue masking before day 10.

NOTIFICATION
If your Burroughs student tests positive, please email school nurse Casie Tomlinson at ctomlin@jburroughs.org.

LUNCH
Students who have recently tested positive will eat lunch in an alternate location (table outside Dr. Wasilewski's office) through day 10 or until they receive a negative test.

Three Forms Needed To Be Completed By A Physician

Physical Form

All students must have a valid physical form or medical eligibility form on file. Missouri State High School Activities Association's guidelines allow physicals to be valid for two years from the date of the last exam, unless otherwise noted by the physician. If your child’s exam in our files is close to expiration, we will send an email to remind you to make an appointment with your physician. Please remember to submit the updated physical form and immunization record (if indicated) after your child’s physical.
