Vaccines

If your student has received any vaccines this school year, feel free to send a copy or screenshot to the clinic at school so that we can update the record on file. You can also email it to aransley@conroeisd.net for the Senior Campus, or efalcon@conroeisd.net for the Ninth Grade Campus.

Immunization Records

If you have a graduating senior and need a copy of their vaccine record, please be sure to request that to be picked up by your student or emailed to you before May 27th. We are not able to fulfill requests made during the summer, and we do not submit vaccine records to schools. Colleges and universities require an additional dose of the Meningitis (MCV4) vaccine that is received on or after the 16th birthday, and you may want to also discuss the optional Meningitis B vaccine with your child's doctor. That is a newer vaccine that is available to children ages 16-18, and it protects against an additional strain of the meningococcal bacteria.

School Orders for the 2025-2026 School Year

As you begin to schedule summer doctor's appointments or physicals, please be sure to have your child's doctor renew their school orders for the 2025-2026 school year. We do require new orders each year for chronic conditions that could possibly require management or treatment at school, such as:

• Asthma
• Severe food or environmental allergies
• Seizures
• Diabetes
• Migraines

If your child participates in an activity or sport on campus that requires a physical and also has a chronic condition, please submit a copy of doctor’s orders for the 2025-2026 school year with their physical form, and also have them turn in a copy of those orders to the clinic.

Extra Clothing Returned

If your child has come home in clothing (shirts or pants) from the clinic, we ask that you wash the items and return them to school. We don't have any pants remaining to lend out to students because they have not been returned.

New Clinic Website

Please visit our new website! You can find information about medications, copies of blank medical forms, emergencies and illness, students with Diabetes, crutches and elevator passes, immunizations, and community resources by visiting the TWHS Clinic website at https://sites.google.com/conroeisd.net/twhsclinicinformation/home.

AP EXAM INFORMATION:

Look for an email soon from school messenger with Exam Day information and tips! In the meantime, all AP exam information can always be found at: https://sites.google.com/conroeisd.net/twhs-aptesting/home.

The directions are included in the link. https://kb.conroeisd.net/kb/absence-reporting-system-app-parent-directions

Fees are added throughout the year for various activities. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the fees charged to your child, please contact the classroom teacher or club sponsor.
