The Texas Legislature mandates health screenings for students in specific grade levels to help identify potential concerns early. These screenings will take place during the school day on November 4, 2025 for Vision and Hearing Screening and November 18, 2025 for Spinal Screening.

If all screenings cannot be completed in one day, they may be continued on a subsequent day.

Required Screenings by Grade Level:

• 8th Grade Boys: Spinal Screening

• 7th Grade Girls: Spinal Screening

• 7th Grade Students: Vision, Hearing, and Risk Assessment for Type 2 Diabetes

• New-to-District Students in 6th & 8th Grade: Vision and Hearing

To ensure accurate results, students who wear glasses or contact lenses should bring or wear them on screening day. Families of students who are identified as needing further evaluation will receive a referral letter following the screenings.

Nurse Hannah Baio is here to partner with you in supporting the health and well-being of our students. Please feel free to reach out to her with any questions or concerns.

Clubs are a great way for students to get connected at Hays! In accordance with SB12, a parent or guardian must provide written permission before a student may participate in a club. If your child will be participating in a club this year, please complete this form. ***Please note that more clubs will be added to this list as they are approved throughout the semester. If your child is interested in a club that's not listed, encourage them to talk to a teacher about getting it started!

What does it mean to be a successful Prosper ISD learner of tomorrow? We are gathering input from all stakeholders to develop a Profile of a Learner. This framework will capture the essential skills and attributes our students need to thrive in life, not just in the classroom. It's our vision for the complete learner, developed in alignment with our Strategic Priorities.

• To ensure student safety at Hays, all students who attend campus events as spectators are required to be picked up by 8:00 p.m. or shortly after the event ends, whichever comes first, unless they are attending the game with a parent. Students who are not picked up on time may lose the privilege of attending future events.
• For ANY games played at Children's Health Stadium, please also utilize the Clear Bag policy.
