25/26 Student Action Plans

A new Action Plan for your student’s health condition must be submitted at the beginning of every year. Actions Plans for the next year must be dated after June 1st for the following school year.


Necessary paperwork can be found at https://www.leanderisd.org/healthservices/


Please note: If your student will participate in an extracurricular activity (i.e. Sports, Band, Dance, Cheer, etc) please have your physician fill out a self carry form so that we can ensure the appropriate emergency medication is with the student at all times. The only authorized medications that are allowed to be carried are Insulin, Emergency Seizure Meds, EpiPens, and Inhalers. No medications will be administered by the LISD staff without proper documentation.


If you have any questions or need additional paperwork please don’t hesitate to reach out. If your student’s medical condition has changed, please send me an email so I can update your student’s file.

Required Seventh Grade Immunizations for the 2025-2026 School Year

Get your incoming seventh grader vaccinated early before the busy back-to-school rush. State law requires one dose of the meningococcal conjugate (MCV4) vaccine and one dose of the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine for all students attending 7th grade. Keeping children vaccinated protects the health of both the children and the community. Without proper documentation of the required vaccinations or a valid medical or conscientious exemption, students are not allowed to attend school. Full vaccine requirements for seventh grade students are available for viewing or downloading on the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Immunization Section website at https://dshs.texas.gov/immunizations/school.



If you have any questions about vaccines, please consult your healthcare provider or local health department. To learn more visit the DSHS Immunization Section website at www.ImmunizeTexas.com, call 800-252-9152, or email Immunization.Info@dshs.texas.gov.


Thank you for keeping your child immunized and free from vaccine-preventable diseases.



Estimados padres o tutores de los estudiantes que ingresan al septimo grado en las escuelas de Texas:

Este es un recordatorio para que vacune a su estudiante de septimo grado antes del inminente ajetreo por el regreso a clases. La ley estatal exige que se les administre una dosis de la vacuna antimeningocócica conjugada (MCV4) y una dosis de la vacuna contra el tétanos, difteria y tos ferina acelular (Tdap) a todos los estudiantes que cursen del septimo grado. Mantener a los niños debidamente vacunados protege la salud tanto de los niños como de la comunidad. Sin la documentación que demuestre que han recibido las vacunas obligatorias o sin una exención válida, ya sea médica o por motivos de conciencia, los estudiantes no podrán asistir a la escuela.


Puede ver o descargar la información sobre los requisitos completos de vacunas para los estudiantes de septimo grado en el sitio web de la Unidad de Inmunización del Departamento Estatal de Servicios de Salud (DSHS) en https://dshs.texas.gov/immunizations/school. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre las vacunas, consulte a su proveedor médico o al departamento de salud local. Para obtener más información, visite el sitio web de la Unidad de Inmunización del DSHS en www.ImmunizeTexas.com, o bien llame al 800-252-9152 o envíe un correo electrónico a Immunization.Info@dshs.texas.gov.


Gracias por mantener a su niño inmunizado y libre de enfermedades que se pueden prevenir con vacunas.
