We’ve noticed some students bringing toys or small items (like Labubus) attached to their backpacks. We do not recommend students bring toys or personal items to school, as they can easily get lost or damaged.

Please note that the school is not responsible for any lost or damaged items.

We are excited to invite you and your family to our annual Back to School Dance! Here’s what you need to know:

1. Cash Only: The school cannot accept credit or debit cards.

2. Admission: Adults and kids 4 and up attending must pay $1 to get in.

3. Food for Sale: Come hungry! This year’s menu includes chili dogs, Frito pie, chips, and cotton candy.

4. Trinkets & Activities: Fun items and activities will be available for $1–$3.

5. Dress Code: Western gear is encouraged—show off your cowboy/cowgirl spirit!

We hope to see you all there for an afternoon of fun, food, and dancing!

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

Local Mobile Food Markets

• Only one adult may accompany a child at lunchtime. The adult must be identified within the child's records as a person with access to the child, and she/he will need a photo ID to check-in to the school.

• The student and his/her adult guest will eat at the table in the Sun Room, near the front office.

• A reservation is required, which the adult can book by calling the school receptionist at 936-709-2800.

• Due to space, there is a limit of 5 reservations available for each lunch period.

• Parents can sign up to join their child for lunch once every week.

We have space for up to 14 trunks, but we’ll need at least 10 participants to move forward. If we don’t reach that number, the event will be canceled.
