Hello Explorers! I'm excited to be returning for my 4th year here at Tobias! For those who are new, I have over 15 years of experience as a pediatric nurse and I began working as a school nurse with Hays CISD in 2013.
Illness and Injuries Please email me or fill out my Student/Staff Anonymous Tobias Illness/injury Questionnaire if your child is out for fever, vomiting, or diarrhea; has a positive Flu, Covid, or other contagious illness; has an injury that will require they modify their activities (PE, recess, or classwork); or if they required surgery. For activity modifications longer than 3 days we do need a doctor's note.
Medications must be kept in the nurse office. Any medications at school need parent and physician authorization, must be unexpired, and must come with their original prescription label. We must have all documentation from parent and physician before medication is able to be left or administered by the nurse. Please do not send medications in student's pockets or belongings for them to take later.
- Medication Authorization English
- Medication Authorization Spanish
- Asthma Action Plan
- Food Allergy Action Plan
- Non-Food Allergy Action Plan
- Seizure Action Plan
New Students Parents please reach out to me if you child has asthma, allergies that are severe, bleeding disorders, seizures, needs medication during school hours, or any other condition that will impact their school day. This is so we can help them have the best experience and care while at school.
Health screenings are required by Texas state law. Each year we have school wide vision and hearing screens for PreK, Kinder, 1st, 3rd, 5th. We also screen for Acanthosis Nigricans in 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade.
If you need help please reach out to myself and our counselor. We have many resources to help in many different ways!
