We invite you to join us as we unite to be one voice in Northwest Tarrant County to improve our roads and get proper sidewalks and crosswalks for our community. #EMSCommunity #Connect4Safety


A big challenge in Northwest Tarrant County is the fact that our roads and passageways are simply not safe. There are very few sidewalks and crosswalks, many poorly-lit roadways, and unsafe roads with potholes and divots that lack safety features like curbs or dividers. #Connect4Safety is uniting the community to champion improvements that will support our vibrant, growing area.

Illness Policy

Parents, please review the district's illness policy. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to Nurse Baker. She does an amazing job keeping our students healthy and parents informed.


When your child is ill, please contact the school to let us know he or she will not be attending

that day. State rules require schools to exclude students with certain illnesses from school for certain periods of time. For example, if a child has a fever over 100 degrees, he or she must stay out of school until fever-free for 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medications. Students with diarrheal illnesses must stay home until they are diarrhea-free without use of diarrhea-suppressing medications for 24 hours.


A parent should contact the school nurse if a student has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

A full list of conditions for which the school must exclude children can be obtained from the

school nurse.


If a student becomes ill during the school day and the school nurse determines that the child

should go home, the nurse will contact the parent.


The district is required to report certain contagious (communicable) diseases or illnesses to the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) or our local/regional health authority. The school nurse can provide information from DSHS on these notifiable conditions.


The school nurse is available to answer any questions for parents who are concerned about

whether or not their child should stay home.
