NOTICE TO PARENTS

STUDENT ID BADGES
FROM THE CLINIC
Parents,
Vision, Hearing, Acanthosis Nigricans & Spinal Screenings will be conducted on Oct. 2nd & Oct. 3rd. Children in pre-k, kindergarten, first, third and fifth grades will be screened for vision and hearing. If your child wears glasses or contacts, please be sure they have them on that day. In addition, all first, third and fifth graders will be screened for Acanthosis Nigricans (a marker for diabetes risk). Fifth graders will be screened for scoliosis. It is best if your child wears a T-shirt on screening day so I can clearly see their back bone structure.
Thank you!
Angela Garcia, RN

LUNCH RULES
This is a reminder to all parents and students that food may not be shared between students. Texas law limits the kinds of food that may be given to students at school. Also, some students have food allergies or other diet restrictions.
Every student should be reminded that their lunch is for them to eat-not to trade or share with friends. Also, parents may not bring lunch to school for anyone other than their own child.
When bringing lunch to school, on Wednesdays and Fridays only, parents must sign in and deliver the lunch to their student in the cafeteria. The office staff cannot deliver lunches or snacks to students.
