IMMUNIZATION

Please Update your student Immunization record for the 2023-2024 school year.

• Students entering 7th grade are required to have one dose of the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccine and one dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) for individuals who have not already received those vaccines.
• We need the original form of the affidavit for Exemption for Immunization if the student is not able to get the vaccine. COPY is INVALID. here is the link to request an Affidavit for an exemption https://co-request.dshs.texas.gov/

If you have questions about the missing vaccine for your student or already have an updated record of immunization, you can email the health aide at mordillano@harmonytx.org

IMPORTANT POLICY REMINDER: Toys on Campus

Campus leaders would like to remind students and parents that toys of any kind should not be brought to campus. Any toys brought to campus will be confiscated and may not be returned. Additionally, any toys that potentially resemble a weapon of any kind – including water guns – are strictly prohibited in all circumstances.

STUDENT MEDICATIONS

We would like to remind parents that any prescription or non-prescription medication required by your child should be administered at home and not brought to campus, if at all possible. If necessary, medication can be administered at school by the school nurse under the following circumstances:

1. Nonprescription medication brought to school must be submitted to school by a parent along with a written request. The medication must also be in the original and properly labeled container.

2. Prescription medications administered during school hours must be prescribed by a physician or advanced nurse practitioner (“ANP”) and filled by a pharmacist licensed in the State of Texas. In accordance with the Texas Board of Nursing Practice Act, the school will not administer medications prescribed or fulfilled in Mexico.

3. Prescription medications must be submitted in a labeled container showing the student’s name, name of the medication, reason the medication is being given, proper dosage amounts, the time the medication must be taken, and the method used to administer the medication. Medications sent in plastic baggies or unlabeled containers will NOT be administered.

4. If the substance is herbal or a dietary supplement, it must be provided by the parent and will be administered only if required by the student's IEP or Section 504 plan for a student with disabilities.

5. Only the amount of medication needed should be delivered to the school, i.e., enough medication to last one day, one week, etc. In cases of prolonged need, send in the amount for a clearly specified period. Extra medication will not be sent home with the student.

6. In certain emergency situations, the school may administer a nonprescription medication to a student, but only in accordance with the guidelines developed by the school’s medical advisor and when the parent has previously provided written consent for emergency treatment.

Changes to daily medications require written instruction from the physician or ANP and written permission from the parent. Parents are responsible for advising the school that a medication has been discontinued.

Asthma and anaphylaxis are life-threatening conditions, and students with those conditions are entitled to possess and self-administer prescription medication while on school property or at school-related events with physicians’ orders.

In order to ensure the safety of all individuals within the school premises, it is mandatory for students to wear their school ID visibly. The ID must display the student's picture clearly. All students have been provided with an ID, a lanyard, and a pouch to carry the ID.

If your child misplaces their ID, a fee of $5.00 will be charged for a replacement which can be purchased through the provided link for RevTrak. Alternatively, you can make the payment by visiting the front office with a card. Please note that cash will not be accepted.

If a student is found without their ID, they will be issued a temporary ID from the front office. The student will have five days to acquire a new ID. If the student fails to get a new ID after five days, they will be subject to disciplinary action and placed in ISS.

There have been some safety issues surrounding student drop-off and pick-up.

We want to remind you that the doors and gates at the drop-off locations close at 7:40 am. After that time, students will need to be dropped off at the front office. At 7:45 am students are considered tardy and parents will have to come into the office and sign them in.

Please make sure to follow the drop-off routes. There have been many close calls when students are being dropped off at the corners. All students need to be dropped off at one of the entry points. We must be able to keep the traffic flow. The entrance is by Wendy's and the exit is by the marquee. Please refer to the attached map of the traffic flow.

Please drive slowly as we do have students and staff that are walking in from their parking spots.

If you have Middle School and High School students to drop off together, please drop both students in the High School line, and the Middle School student will walk through the building to the Middle School side.

If your student is a driver and arrives at school late, they will be required to call a parent to be signed in.

We know that everyone is in a hurry however, we are more concerned with everyone's safety.

Thank you for your understanding and attention to this matter.
