Dear Runyan Families,

We are looking forward to another great week! Please read over the important December dates and holiday attire below. The next couple of weeks will be busy as we approach the Winter Break. Be in the lookout for event details in the Runyan News.

Runyan Elementary, in partnerships with Toys for Tots, will give a toy/gift to all Runyan Elementary students. The toy drive will be on Tuesday, December 9th from 4:30-5:30. The event will take place in the car rider line. Please stay in your vehicle, DO NOT park. Students MUST present a ticket to receive a gift. Tickets will be distributed to students on 12/9 during the day. Student must be present to get a ticket. If a student loses the ticket or unable to attend, the student will receive a toy later in the week to take home in their backpack.

Clinic Information

• Please pack an extra pair of clothes, including underwear and socks, in your child’s backpack DAILY. (accidents and spills happen often)... even 4th graders.

• It's important to call, email, or send a note to the nurse and teacher if your child is having any type of health problem on a particular day. This is extremely helpful for the nurse if your child presents to the clinic,

REGARDING MEDICATION:

In order for the nurse to give your child any medication (over the counter or prescription) a current, written doctors order is encouraged:

1. The medication must be approved for your child's age by the FDA (herbs cannot be given).

2. The medication must be in the original container

3. The medication must have the current prescription label on the bottle or inhaler

4. The medication must be BROUGHT to the nurse by the parent/guardian and permission form signed

5. Per CISD policy children are not allowed to transport medication (prescribed/otc)

REGARDING ILLNESS

A student will be sent home from school, with the following symptoms:

• Temperature of 100 degrees or more, please keep your child home, until fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducer medication. This ensures your child is well and will not spread illness at school. A student should not be sent to school if a fever reducing medication is required to get the temperature below 100 degrees

• Vomiting or diarrhea

• Too ill to function in the classroom

• Suspected contagious condition or disease

Vision and Hearing Screenings:

• Pre-K, Kinder, 1st and 3rd graders and those new to Texas, will have vision and hearing screening this fall. Referrals will be sent home with those who fail. If your child has already had a screening with their medical provider you may send a copy to the clinic and we will update their health record.

Please call or email with questions or concerns
