General reminders and information
Please adhere to our new policy for late arriving students.
Students must be in the building before 8:20 a.m. If they arrive after 8:20 a.m., parents must park their car and come into the office to sign them in.
Parking
Please park in the available parking spots to come into the building. Please do not park in the fire lane in front of the school or stop traffic flow and leave your car unattended when dropping off your student in the morning. We also ask that parents not park their vehicles in parking spots labeled for specific school personnel or disabled individuals. When dropping off your student in the morning, if you are in the car line do not get out of your vehicle and delay traffic. If you need to talk or tend to your child please park your vehicle. We have car drop off in the front of the school and on the north side of the school.
Lunch
If you are coming to eat with your student please limit the visitors to two per student. Our cafeteria is small and it is getting crowded during lunch time making it difficult to have enough space to accommodate all visitors.
When sending lunch for your student please remember to Dojo your students teacher so that the teacher can have the student pick up the lunch on their way to the cafeteria.
School Wide Expectations
Important Links/Information
A NOTE FROM THE NURSE:
If your child requires medication at school (prescription or over the counter) a medication form signed by a parent and Physician must be on file for the 2023/24 school year.
That form can be found online on the health services department page or a this link Medication Request Form
Please contact the nurse's office for any questions or concerns at scollett@aisd.net
Blanton Families,
Flu season will be here soon and here is some help to distinguish between your child having a common cold or the flu:
Your child will have a fever, usually high, with the flu and a fever is rare with a cold. With the flu, there is usually a bad headache but rare with a cold. You have mild aches/pains with a cold but are very achy with the flu. Fatigue/weakness is mild with a cold but can be severe with the flu. A stuffy nose, sneezing, and a sore throat are common with a cold but only sometimes experienced with the flu. Coughing and chest discomfort is common with the flu but with a cold you usually have a mild hacking cough.
**If your child is diagnosed with the flu or has flu symptoms, your child must stay home from school until the student is free of fever for 24 hours without fever medication and the child feels like him or herself. **
Thank you for helping us stay healthy at school.
Stefanie Collett, RN
A friendly reminder from Nurse Collett
Cold and Flu season is upon us. I have attached the district’s policy of when you need to keep your student at home or can send them to school.
Since students will need to be picked up when they become ill at school, we need current telephone numbers. Please update your “parent self-serve portal” with any change in telephone number(s) so we may be able to reach you.
Thank you in advance for working with us to keep students and staff healthy and in school.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me in the office 682-867-1000
Un recordatorio amistoso de la enfermera Collett
La temporada de resfriados y gripe está sobre nosotros. He adjuntado la política del distrito de cuándo necesita mantener a su estudiante en casa o puede enviarlo a la escuela.
Dado que los estudiantes deberán ser recogidos cuando se enfermen en la escuela, necesitamos números de teléfono actuales. Actualice su "portal de autoservicio para padres" con cualquier cambio en los números de teléfono para que podamos comunicarnos con usted.
Gracias de antemano por trabajar con nosotros para mantener a los estudiantes y al personal sanos y en la escuela.
Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en llamarme a la oficina 682-867-1000
