A school clinic is located on campus and is operated by the school nurse. The service is provided to those students who become ill or injured while at school. Minor injuries ( scratches, bruises) will be treated in the clinic. Parents will be contacted in case of more serious injury or illness. Please inform the school nurse if your child has a medical condition of any type, such as Asthma.

Health Tips:

• Make sure your child gets at least eight (8) hours of sleep a night
• Your child needs a good breakfast to stay alert throughout the day. Breakfast is provided each morning on campus.
• Encourage your child to brush his/her teeth after meals to prevent tooth decay
• Make sure your child lets someone at school (teacher, nurse) know when he /she is not feeling well.

Student Illness:

• Here are some guidelines concerning health:
• Keep student home if they are sick.
• If your child becomes ill at school, he/she will be sent to the nurse's office. Parents will be called to come for him/her.
• Please notify your child's teacher if your child has any communicable disease so others will know if they have been exposed.

Medication:

• HISD board policy prohibits school personnel from administering any medication, (including aspirin or cough medicine or prescription medication) during school hours. If a child must take a long-term medication, the school will provide parents with a form to be signed by a physician stating this need.
