NEWS FROM THE NURSE
It was great to see everyone back at school. Summer break may be over, but summer is not! Please be sure to send your student to school with a water bottle so they can stay hydrated throughout the day. Also, if your child has medications that need to be administered at school, please contact me to make arrangements. Do not send medications to school with your child, including cough drops. Please feel free to contact the clinic if you have any questions. Everyone have a great year!

CARPOOL REMINDERS
* Please have students exit the passenger, curb side, of the vehicle. It is safer for them and our staff while cars are moving through the carpool.
* Cars that are in the horse shoe drive for arrivals or dismissal must be aware of the traffic around them.
ABSENCES
When a student is absent a parent must provide to our campus registrar written documentation for the reason for the student's absence. Per the MISD Student Handbook pg. 33 of 104:
Documentation after an Absence: (All Grade Levels) within three (3) school days of the student’s arrival or return to school, a note signed by the parent that describes the reason for the absence must be delivered to the appropriate campus office for attendance documentation.
Please include in the note:
Student’s Legal Name
Date(s) of Absence
Reason for Absence
Attach Doctor’s Note, if applicable
Please communicate any absence information to our Campus Registrar, Mrs. Dharamraj at: hdharamraj@mckinneyisd.net
AFTERNOON DISMISSAL CHANGES (FOR EXAMPLE: WALKER CHANGED TO CARPOOL ON A RAINY DAY)
The form will open at 8:00AM each morning for dismissal changes and will close at 2:30PM each day. Please let us know before 2:30PM if you need to change the way your child will go home for that day.
- Teachers are actively teaching during the day and will be notified by the front office of changes in dismissals for their students.
- Change requests after this time cannot reliably be met and can cause a delay in your student's dismissal or require you to visit the front office to receive them.
