Nurse Notes from the FSMS Clinic
Should My Child Stay Home Today?
Parents we love that our Falcons do not want to miss school, but if they are sick or running a fever, the best place for them to be is at home.
District policy to keep students home when ill and they have to be fever-free for 24 hours WITHOUT the use of medication before returning. Below are some clinic guidelines for when a child should be kept at home:
A Student will not be allowed to remain in school if he/she complains of any of the following:
• temperature of 100.0 or greater
• vomiting and/or diarrhea
• an undetermined rash
• feeling too ill to remain at school
To prevent exposing other students unnecessarily to illness, a student should not come to school if he/she has the following symptoms:
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
• An undetermined rash
• A temperature of 100.0 or greater within the past 24 hours (must be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication)
Bringing Medication to School
Reminder…Students are not allowed to carry medications at school with the exceptions of emergency medications (inhalers, Epipens and Insulin). All medication must be delivered to clinic by the parent or guardian, in the original container, with paperwork stating the full name of the student, the physician’s name, the name of the medication, the amount of medication to be given, when the medication is to be given, the length of time the medication is to be given, the reason the medication is to be given and your signature and date. Please reach out to Nurse Setera at 281-634-6505 or at jennifer.setera@fortbendisd.com with any additional questions or concerns.
Do you need to pick up your student early from school or change the way they are getting home?
