NURSE NEWS -

 

VISION & HEARING SCREENING for 7th Grade will be conducted on Wed. 11/4, and Thur. 11/5.  This is a state mandated program.  If you do not want your child screened for either of these, you must submit that request in writing via email to okersonm@cisdmail.com, via fax to 817.949.5555, or via signed hand-written note to the DMS Nurse by Tuesday 11/3.
 
**Remind your child to wear his/her glasses or contacts on BOTH of those days**
 
 A Few Reminders:
* Please be observant when sending lunch or snacks to school with your child by choosing foods that are peanut-free (especially) or free of any type of nut.  Severe nut allergies can be life-threatening situations for our students who have this allergy.
* Continue to send Immunization and health updates, and changes in medications that are taken routinely so your child's records can be kept current.
* To prevent a hold up in your child not getting his/her medication, please read the Medication Guidelines online at the CISD website.  This includes, all medications to be given at school must come from home in the original container with a signed note of instructions from parent/guardian.  Parent/Guardian provides all medication.  There are 10 other guidelines to familiarize your self with.
* All students with a fever over 100 are considered contagious and should be kept home until they are free of fever for 24hrs.without the help of Tylenol/Advil. Continue to stress thorough and frequent hand washing, and disinfecting of phones, light switches, microwave buttons, ipods, and computer keyboards and mouses.
