Throughout this pandemic, the CDC and NJ Department of Health have recommended to schools to turn off water fountains. However, they have approved water bottle filling stations. This promotes students to take their own personal water bottle and set it in a fountain and in front of a sensor for touch less/mouthless dispensing of water. The water is chilled. Bunker Hill had the water filling station installed this summer. While we only have one at this juncture, there are plans to install more in the future. This lone water filling station is located outside Room B8 adjacent to the cafeteria.
It is highly recommended that each student bring a personal, refillable water bottle. We recommend that each bottle is labled clearly with the student's first AND last names as well as the grade and first period class. If a water bottle is lost, and unlabled, we will immediately set is aside and placed it in lost and found until it is safe to inform families to retrieve it. If it is properly labled, we can return it the following week to the child's first period as we can not have it left in the classroom. This gives the proper quarantine measure of objects.
