Calling All LVHS Honeybears!
We Are Still Missing Many Permission Slips!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Legislative updates have required schools to gain consent prior to services/participation. We are missing a large amount of consent forms. Please check that you have completed the following items and returned/submitted them to LVHS:
* Student Code of Conduct and Acceptable Use Policy (printed copy was sent home)
* Consent for School Counseling (electronic submission)
* Parent Consent for School Related Health Services (printed copy was sent home)
* School club(s) permission to participate (sent home by club sponsor)
All of these forms are posted to this newsletter for your convenience. Please help us ensure your student can receive the services he/she needs.
Has Your Child Returned LVHS Acceptable Use Policy and Code of Conduct?
Copies of LVHS Code of Conduct and Technology Acceptable Use Policy were sent home the week of August 18th. Please send these sigend forms back to school as soon as possible.
Notice of Consent for School Counseling
The 89th Texas Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 12, which requires school districts to notify parents of staff services related to mental health and to give parent/guardians the opportunity to opt out before mental health-related services are provided to their child.
This form must be submitted for each student. Consent given through this form is effective during the current school year unless rescinded earlier.
You must complete this form for each student enrolled in La Vernia ISD.
School counseling services are more fully explained in board policy FFEA, and student mental health is covered in board policy FFEB. Information about threat assessments can be found in board policy FFB.
Have You Returned Consent for Health Services?
Notice of and Consent for School Health-Related Services
This form must be signed and returned to LVISD Health Services. Consent given through this form is effective during the current school year unless revoked earlier.
In accordance with new law as of Sept.1, 2025, the District must provide parents with written notice of each school-based health-related service offered at the campus their child attends. These routine services promote student safety, wellness, and readiness to learn. The services may be provided by qualified school staff, including nurses and athletic trainers. This consent does not take the place of an individualized health plan, 504 plan, or other legally required document.
A parent has the right to withhold consent for or decline any health-related service.
Printed copies of this form were sent home last week. For you convenience, the forms have been linked below.
