Clinic Update
SHE families,
As a friendly reminder to parents of students with life threatening allergies or asthma, please supply me their rescue medication. I cannot accept expired medication or medication without a prescription label. Per our medication policy, please do not send your child in with the medication. An adult will need to deliver the medication and a parent will need to fill out the required medication administration form.
Healthy Schools will make available free flu shots for students at each of our elementary and middle schools on Wednesday, September 19. Please note, the shots are optional and will only be administered with parent consent. The flu shot is 100% preservative and antibiotic free. It does not contain a live virus, nor can it cause the flu. Upon administration of the flu shot, Healthy Schools staff will enter all vaccination information of participating students into the statewide database, lmmTrac2. If you would like for your child to receive the free flu vaccine, please register online at www.ltisdflu.com before Friday, September 14. If you are not able to register online but wish for your child to receive the free vaccine at school contact Becca Harkleroad, RN (Lead Nurse for LTISD) via email at harkleroadb@ltisdschools.org or by phone at 512-533-6015. You may also contact Healthy Schools at 800-566-0596.
Thank you! - Nurse Bobbi
