Hello Explorers! I'm excited to be back for my 3rd year at Tobias. For those who are new, I have over 14 years of experience as a pediatric nurse and am working through my 7th year as a Hays school nurse. I'm living as a San Martian Mermaid with 4 rescued fur babies. I enjoy gardening, listening to podcasts, and painting in my free time.

If your child isn't feeling well and needs to stay home, please fill out my Student Illness Questionnaire Or email me at Ashley.Armstrong@hayscisd.net 

Please notify me of any new diagnosis, medications (new/changes) and any confirmed positives on tests - Flu, Strep, Covid, Pertussis, Chickenpox, Measles, etc. 

FREE VACCINE DRIVE - Saturday August 12th 8a-12p @ CommuniCare Kyle 2810 Dacy Lane Kyle TX

Immunizations/ROC's - To have a teacher on the first day of school these must be up to date. 

Please do not send medications in student's pockets or belongings for them to take later. Any medications at school needed longer than 10 days needs parent and physician authorization, must be unexpired, and must come with their original prescription label. Short term medication, for less than 10 days, we do still need parent authorization and we must follow labeled instructions. 

Health screenings (state/law required) Each year we have school wide vision and hearing screens for PreK, Kinder, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and for students in sped or receiving other kinds of services (ex Speech). We also screen for Acanthosis Nigricans in 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. On November 17 we will screen for Scoliosis in 5th grade girls. Please email me if you have questions or your child loses/breaks their glasses and you need help getting a new exam/pair.

Affordable health care - if your child doesn't have medical insurance or is about to lose it I do have resources to help get them care when they need it.
