  • A warm welcome back.  As we begin the 2023-2024 school year, our goals remain the same.  

    1. Keep our students healthy
    2. Support them in their needs
    3. Support parents/guardians with information and resources
    4. Keeping our students in school so they may be successful 

     

     
  •   The current information for HAYS CISD COVID guidelines can be found on the HAYSCISD district website- (click the big coronovirus screen) and The Center for Disease Control- www.cdc.gov.
     
    Please remember to screen your student daily before sending them to school.  Always keep them home if they are not feeling well.  Not just for COVID symptoms.  Nausea, diarrhea, severe headache, temperature greater than 99 degrees are reasons to NOT send your child to school.  Please consider that they may have the flu.  If possible, get them tested.  
     
       
     
    Please send any positive test results for COVID or Flu to the nurse: joan.weston@hayscisd.net
     
     
    IF YOUR STUDENT HAS BEEN OUT OF THE  UNITED STATES,  FOR MORE THAN 3 WEEKS-HE/SHE IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A TUBERCULOSIS TEST. (THIS DEPENDS ON THE COUNTRY VISITED). Please contact me for further information.  
     
     
     
     
     

     

  • IMMUNIZATIONS

    • All students must be up to date on vaccines or have a CURRENT, valid exemption form on file whether attending virtually or in person for the school year.  This information may be found by using the IMMUNIZATION TAB   (on the left of this screen)
    • Updated immunization records can be emailed to Joan.weston@hayscisd.net
    • Exemption forms for immunizations may be found on the  IMMUNIZATION TAB  
    • Need help getting vaccines completed? CLICK ON THE IMMUNIZATION TAB
    • Please contact me for questions, concerns or help.

    COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS: All students entering an institution of higher education are required to show proof on an initial meningococcal vaccination or a booster dose during the five year period prior to enrolling.  The student must get the vaccine at least 10 days before the semester begins. See IMMUNIZATION TAB

    Student immunization records are kept on a system known as ImmTrac.  Once a student graduates, those records are no longer available.  By following the link below and completing the form, all immunizations recorded on ImmTrac will be available.

    ImmTrac Adult Registry Form:  https://www.dshs.texas.gov/sites/default/file/immunizations/immtrac/doc/F11-13366.pdf

  • #1.  If you have not completed an EMERGENCY HEALTH CARD for your student for this school year, please do so.  This allows us to treat your student in the nurse's office, give medicine and transport in case of an emergency situation.  If you need the EMERGENCY HEALTH CARD form-please email me joan.weston@hayscisd.net and I will be happy to send you either English or Spanish version. 

    #2.  If your student requires ANY MEDICATION while on campus-whether it is a daily scheduled dose or, as needed medication such as asthma medication or short-term pain medication, there must be a signed doctor's order.  These blank forms may be found to the left of the screen.  Please notify me of any medication your student may be taking.

    #3.  Please notify the LOA nurse of any condition regarding your student which you feel is relevant.

     

    I would like to assure you that medical information about your child is treated as confidential by the nurse and all school staff.  We do not share information about your child with outside parties nor can we discuss health concerns of any other student with you. 

  • Please be aware that if your student is ill, they must come see the nurse before they can be released to go home.  If the student is contacting parent/guardian directly without visiting the nurse, it is considered an unexcused absence.
