  13. IMMUNIZATIONS • Texas Department of Health requires all school age children to be up to date on immunizations. Children are excluded from school until the required immunizations are obtained and a copy is given to the school nurse. Immunization requirements can be found on:www.katyisd.org -Go to Parents on the left side -Go to Quick Links (right corner) -Drop down to Health Services -Click on Immunization requirements • Contact school nurse with questions.

  14. 24 HOUR RULE • If your child has fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, Katy ISD guidelines state that he or she must stay home for 24 hours. To give your child time to recuperate and to protect classmates and teachers, the child must be symptom free without the aid of medications for a 24-hour day before returning to school.

  15. FEVER • An oral temperature of 100 with a thermometer is considered a fever. It is okay to keep your child home if his/her fever is lower but he/she does not feel well.

  16. INFECTIOUS DISEASES • Please call Nurse, Lisa Duplantis, (281.234.1726) if your child has been diagnosed with a contagious condition such as strep throat, chickenpox, pink eye, lice, impetigo, ringworm, flu, or has vomiting and/or diarrhea.

  17. MEDICINE • Children may not carry medicine with them at school - not even cough drops. If your child needs medicine at school, send a note completed by a parent or the physician plus the medicine in its original container. You or your child can drop it off in the clinic before going to class. Three times a day medications are not given at school. All doses can be given at home. This was determined by Pediatricians in the area and is a District Policy. • The official form can be found at the Katy ISD website: -Click on Parents -Go to the Quick links -Drop down to Health Services for the forms

  18. CLOTHING • Please pack an extra set of clothing, including underwear and socks, in a plastic bag for your little one that is seasonally changed out. Leave it in his/her backpack. It is comforting to have your own clothes in case of an accident. • Flat, closed-toe shoes with Velcro or that lace up are much safer than sandals and flip flops in helping prevent injuries.

  19. FOOD • Children should never share food at school to help keep our allergy friends safe. Please feed your child breakfast before school and send a healthy lunch. They will perform much better at school if they are fueled up and rested properly. Sandwiches, cut up and ready to eat fruits and vegetables, milk, and water are great choices.

  20. CLINIC • Vision and hearing screenings will be done in the fall. • The enrollment card in your packet has a place for phone numbers where you can be reached and emergency contacts if you are unavailable. It is vital that the phone numbers are accurate. Please give the phone numbers an order as to who should be called first, second, etc. Also, please fill out the health inventory. If your child has a condition you need to speak to me about, please call or come by at the beginning of the school year.
