The Texas Administrative Code requires that “every child in the state shall be immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases caused by infectious agents.” (TAC RULE §97.63) A list of required vaccinations is available from our school nurse. If a student fails to comply, they will NOT be allowed to attend school (TAC RULE §97.66). It is your responsibility to be sure the school has your current address and phone number on file. For more details, click the "Immunization Requirements" link.

In accordance with a new law, the District must provide parents with written notice of each school-based health-related and health-care service offered at the campus their child attends. The services may be provided by qualified school staff, including nurses, athletic trainers, and counselors. Please read over the consent form and note any services you wish to opt out of. Please return the signed consent form, whether you've opted out of services or not.

Children must be free of fever (less than 100.0 degrees) for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications (such as Tylenol or Advil / Motrin) before returning to school. Children must be free of diarrhea and/or vomiting for 24 hours before returning to school and need to be eating and drinking without any problem.

Please call the school nurse if your child has been diagnosed with a contagious condition such as COVID-19, Flu, TB, Measles, Mumps, Chickenpox, Hepatitis, or Meningitis.

Nurses and Teachers are not allowed to administer medications of any kind at school without proper consent. Children are not permitted to carry medication, including cough drops. ALL MEDICATION must be administered from the clinic. Parents must deliver the medication to the clinic and bring only the necessary amount for school. ALL medication must be in the original container. All prescription medications must be in the original pharmacy container, labeled with the child’s name, medication date, and dosing instructions. A second bottle from the pharmacy can be requested from the pharmacy by the parent for the school clinic. "All morning medications" should be given at home, as well as antibiotics 3 times a day or every 8 hours. Just follow a before breakfast, after school, and before bedtime schedule. *There are no "stock medications" in the clinic, such as Tylenol, Motrin, Tums, etc.

Parents/Guardians, if your child has any of the following health conditions: Diabetes, Asthma, Seizures, Food Allergies/Anaphylaxis, we must have a Care Plan filled out by the child’s physician. The Care Plan will be individualized and assist the school nurse in caring for your child with their health condition, should the need arise at school. The Care Plan needs to be turned in to your school nurse before the start of each school year, or within the first week of starting school. The blank Care Plan forms are listed on this page under Links & Documents. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school nurse.
