October School Clinic Tidbits
• Winter Clothing Donation
o If anyone has girl/boy pants sizes 5t – 12 they are willing to donate to the clinic, we would gladly accept them!
▪ Consider putting a spare change of clothes in your child's backpack despite age. You would be surprised how many kids may slip in the mud or spill drinks on them, so you never know when it will be utilized 😊
• Return to School After Illness
o It is that time of year when we see more sick kiddos, and I want everyone to know the return-to-campus policy after an illness. If your child has a temperature of 100.0 F or higher, follow the below instructions so they can return to campus as soon as possible.
â–ª The nurse needs a picture/copy of a dated covid test emailed to stacy.hughes@cfisd.net. It can be a home test!
â–ª If negative, then the student will need to go 24 hours fever free without medication before returning
â–ª If covid positive, contact the nurse @ 281-373-2610 for further instructions, or you can view the district's Lead Safely guidelines here -> https://www.cfisd.net/leadsafely
• Medication Policy:
o All medication must come directly to the nurse by the guardian. Students may not transport medicine.
o All over-the-counter medication must be in a new, unopened container and age-appropriate for that child. Sometimes you may not realize the medicine will say age 12 and older, so take a peek at those instructions 😊
