Student Health Services supports the education of all students by collaborating with families and medical providers to meet the needs of students and staff while promoting health and wellness in the learning community. A school nurse is available at each campus throughout the school day, in case of illness or accident. The nurse reviews immunization records and provides state-mandated screenings. Nurses administer first-aid but do not diagnose illness. Emergency medical information is required for each student. Every effort is made to locate parents in the event of an emergency. Parents must therefore provide a current address and telephone number, so that they may be reached. The district is required to have emergency information on file. Student Illness When your child is ill, please contact the attendance office to let us know he or she won’t be attending that day. It is important to remember that schools must exclude students with certain illnesses from school for periods of time as identified in state rules. For example, if your child has a fever of 100 degrees, he or she must stay out of school until fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications. A full list of conditions for which the school must exclude children can be obtained from the school nurse. If a student becomes ill during the school day, he or she must receive permission from the teacher before reporting to the school nurse. If the nurse determines that the child should go home, a parent/guardian will be notified. The district is also required to report certain contagious (communicable) diseases or illnesses to the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) or our local/regional health authority. The school nurse can provide information from TDSHS on these notifiable conditions. Contact the school nurse if you have questions or if you are concerned about whether or not your child should stay home. Health Services and Extracurricular Activities Specialized Healthcare Procedures Health Conditions Medication Administration Student medication may be administered at the health room, under the following guidelines: The parent must bring the medication to the school nurse and complete a form indicating permission to administer the medication. Students are not allowed to carry ANY type of medication, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medication, items such as Tylenol, etc. The district must receive a written request to administer medication from the parent, noting the time and dosage to give (annually, if the length of medication warrants it). Medication must be in the original container with the student’s name on it and indicate the required dosage and intervals. Narcotic Drugs Medication Drop-off Additional Information 24 Hour Rule Head Lice Food Allergy Asthma & Anaphylaxis Influenza Bacterial Meningitis Students who demonstrate signs and symptoms of illness or a possible communicable disease should be referred to the school nurse's office for further assessment. Those with an elevated temperature of 100 degrees or above, vomiting or with diarrhea must be isolated and sent home. The student must be fever free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before he/she can be allowed back in school. Those excluded due to vomiting or diarrhea must also be free of symptoms without the use of preventative medications before being allowed back in school.
