Telemedicine Can help
Welcome back to the 2nd half of 2017-2018 school year! We are in the midst of cold and flu season. See below flyer for tips for staying well and differences between colds/flu. We would like to remind you about a joint program between Keller ISD and Cook Children’s. Your child can be seen by a medical provider through telehealth technology for certain sick symptoms while in the school nurse’s office. Go to www.schooltelemed.org for more information. You may directly register your child for the program at the following link: https://my.tonicforhealth.com/passage/survey/ocY0kOPfZoJMydirXW21yw/welcome
If you have already registered your child for this program, thank you!
