Helpful Information
Health Services
Each school campus has a health clinic with trained personnel to care for students. The Health
Service staff consists of a registered nurse who may be full time on that campus or shared with
another campus. There may also be a clinic assistant trained in CPR and first aid assigned halftime or full-time. Any information regarding a student’s health condition or any health
concerns should be communicated to the campus nurse. Campus staff welcome the
opportunity to work closely with the parents and students to maintain a healthy, safe,
successful experience in school. Student Illness: When your child is ill, please contact the
school to let them know he or she won’t be attending that day. It is important to remember
that schools must exclude students with certain illnesses for periods of time as identified in
state rules. For example, if your child has a fever of 100 degrees or higher, he or she must stay
out of school until they are fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications. In
addition, students with diarrheal illnesses must stay home until he/she is diarrhea free without
diarrhea-suppressing medications for at least 24 hours. A full list of conditions for which the
school must exclude children can be obtained from the school nurse or online on the TDSHS
webpage.
If a student becomes ill or injured 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, the nurse will contact the parent. The District is also required to report
certain contagious diseases or illnesses to the Texas Department of State Health Services
(TDSHS) or the local health authority. The school nurse can provide information from TDSHS on
these notifiable conditions. Contact the school nurse if you have questions or are concerned
about whether or not your child should stay at home.
In the case of an emergency requiring the care of a physician and school staff are unable to
contact you or the person(s) you have designated as your emergency contact, school officials
will determine what steps will be taken to protect the health of your child, including calling 911
and transporting your child to a medical facility. Note that the District has no financial
responsibility for the emergency care or transportation of your child.
Emergencies and Illness at School
An electronic Student Health Information Form should be completed by the parent or guardian
for each child at the beginning of the school year. It is very important you complete this form
immediately. This form will give you an opportunity to list any medical conditions, allergies,
medications and concerns you may have. It also includes emergency information for the clinic
staff. This information is used to contact you or a person you designate if needed for your child.
If a student has a medical emergency at school or a school-related activity when the parent
cannot be reached, the school may have to rely on previously provided written parental
consent to obtain emergency medical treatment and information about allergies to
medications, foods, insect bites, etc. Therefore, parents are asked each year to complete an
emergency care consent form. Parents should keep emergency care information up-to-date
(name of doctor, emergency phone numbers, allergies, etc.) Please contact the school nurse to
update any information that the nurse or the teacher needs to know.
If, in the judgement of the nurse or other appropriate school staff, emergency transportation is
required, a call will be made to 911. In the case of an emergency requiring the care of a
physician and school staff are unable to contact you or the person(s) you have designated as
your emergency contact, school officials will determine what steps will be taken to protect the
health of your child, including calling 911 and transporting your child to a medical facility. Note
that the District has no financial responsibility for the emergency care or transportation of your
child.
Prescription Drugs and Non-prescription Drugs
The school must receive a written and dated request from the parent or legal guardian to
administer any medication. Prescription and non-prescription drugs must be in the original
container and properly labeled. Only the guidelines printed on the container will be followed
unless a physician order is present. The Surgeon General, the Food and Drug Administration
and the Center for Disease Control have recommended that due to the increased risk of
developing “Reye’s Syndrome”, aspirin or products containing aspirin not be given to children
under 18 years old. If your physician orders aspirin for your child, please provide a copy of the
physician order. The Texas Nurse Practice Act allows registered nurses to refuse to administer
medications anytime the nurse believes the medication is contra-indicated for the student.
Additional guidelines for medication to be administered at school are:
• All medication must be kept in the clinic during the school day.
• Over-the-counter medication dosage must not exceed the dose recommendation listed
on the bottle. Exception: If your physician, dentist or orthodontist has directed a certain
dosage to be given that is greater than that recommended on the bottle, a written order
will need to be included with the written permission from the parent.
• The use of “sample” medication from the physician, dentist, or orthodontist must have
signed written instructions from that doctor accompanied by the parent written
permission.
• In the interest of safety for all students, students may not bring their medication to
school. Students may not transport medication on the school bus with the exception of
asthma, anaphylaxis, and diabetes medications with physician’s orders.
• Should your child need to have medication at school, please bring or make
arrangements for the medication to be brought to the clinic by a parent or a guardian.
For your convenience, many of the local pharmacies will provide a second labeled
container for medications needed at school. Please note: Medication required “daily”,
or “twice a day”, should be administered at home. Many “three times a day” orders
should also be given at home unless the doctor requests a specific time during the
school day. Medication must be signed into the clinic by the parent or guardian.
• A record of each medication given at school is maintained in the clinic.
• Students that have asthma or are at risk for anaphylaxis may experience times when the
symptoms worsen and the physician requests the student carry an inhaler or
anaphylaxis medication to be used when needed. Please provide a letter from the
physician with complete instructions for use of the inhaler or anaphylaxis medication
and permission for the student to carry the inhaler or anaphylaxis medication. It is
strongly recommended that a spare inhaler or anaphylaxis medication be kept in the
clinic for emergencies.
• Students with diabetes will provide a Diabetes Management Plan developed by the
physician and parents. The campus nurse will consult with the student and family to
develop an Individual Health Plan for the school year. In accordance with a student’s
Individual Health Plan for management of diabetes, a student will be permitted to
possess and use monitoring and treatment supplies and equipment while at school or a
school-related activity. See the school nurse for information.
Medication at School
The District will not purchase medication to give to a student. Conroe ISD policy allows the
school nurse to train authorized school employees to administer medication to students during
school hours and for off-campus school sponsored activities. All medications dispensed at
school should be necessary for the student’s optimum health as well as maintain maximum
school performance. The District encourages parents to administer medication at home before
and/or after school whenever possible. Any medication must be brought to school and picked
up by a parent or designated adult. When the student is withdrawn or before the last day of
school, the parent should make arrangements to pick up the medication from school. Any
unclaimed medications will be safely discarded in accordance with state and federal guidelines.
Head Lice
Head lice, although not an illness or a disease is very common among children and is spread
easily through head-to-head contact during play, sports, and when students share things like
brushes, combs, hats and headphones. If careful observation indicates that a student has head
lice, the school nurse will contact the student’s parent to determine whether the student will
need to be picked up from school and discuss a plan for treatment with an FDA-approved
medicated shampoo or cream rinse that may be purchased from any drug or grocery store.
Parents may also wish to consult their healthcare provider for effective treatment options.
After the student has undergone a treatment, the parent should check in with the school nurse
to discuss the treatment used. The nurse can also offer additional recommendations, including
subsequent treatments and how best to get rid of lice and prevent their return. More
information on head lice can be obtained from the TDSHS Web Site.
Students who require the temporary use of crutches or a wheelchair at school must have an order from their physician.

Food Allergies
The District requests to be notified when a student has been diagnosed with a food allergy,
especially those allergies that could result in dangerous or possibly life-threatening reactions
either by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with the particular food. It is important to
disclose the food to which the student is allergic, as well as the nature of the allergic reaction.
Please contact the school nurse and inform them of any known food allergy or as soon as
possible after any diagnosis of a food allergy.
The District has developed and annually reviews a food allergy management plan, which
addresses employee training, dealing with common food allergens, and specific strategies for
dealing with students diagnosed with severe food allergies. When the District receives
information that a student has a food allergy that puts the student at risk for anaphylaxis,
individual care plans will be developed to assist the student in safely accessing the school
environment. The District’s food allergy management plan can be accessed in the nurse’s office
at each campus.
