Texas Minimum State Vaccine Requirements for Students Grades K-12

(Taken from the Student Handbook:  Conroe ISD Student Health Guidelines):

A “Student Health Information” form is sent home with your child every year.  It is very important that you complete and return the form immediately – and that you keep it updated as needed.  This form gives you the opportunity to list any medical conditions, allergies, medications and concerns that you may have.  It also includes emergency information for the clinic staff such as contact numbers.

Illness at school is evaluated by the clinic staff.  A child who demonstrates the following symptoms will be sent home from school:

1.  Fever of 100 degrees or more

2.  Suspected contagious conditions or diseases

3. Vomiting or diarrhea

4. Severe stomachache, headache, or earache.

5.  A child who is too ill to function in the classroom

Your student should remain at home until he/she is fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medicine and free of diarrhea without anti-diarrhea medicine for 24 hours.

Encourage your child to wash their hands thoroughly and often.

(Taken from the Student Handbook: Conroe ISD Student Health Guidelines):

The school must receive a written, dated request from the parent or legal guardian to administer any medications.  This permission must include the name of the drug, the exact dosage, and reason or purpose the student is to receive the medication.  Prescription and non -prescription drugs must be in the original container and properly labeled.  Medications given at school must be approved by the Federal Drug Administration.The Surgeon General, the Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Disease Control have recommended that due to the increased risk of developing “Reye’s Syndrome”, aspirin or products containing aspirin not be given to children under 18 years of age.

Please keep in mind:

• In the interest of safety for all students, medications cannot be transported to or from school on the school bus. All medication should be brought to school by a parent/legal guardian.
