My name is Kristi Thomey and I am the nurse at Lexington Creek Elementary. I have been a registered nurse for sixteen years, and this is my 5th year here at LCE. I also have a clinic assistant, Cindy Pillsbury, who helps me here in the clinic. My mission as a school nurse includes supporting the learning of ALL of our students by maintaining their health and presence in the classroom. This may involve the exclusion of some students from time to time due to illness in order to protect the well-being of the class as a whole. These guidelines are developed by FBISD in accordance with the Texas Department of Health and the Centers for disease control. A Student will not be allowed to remain in school if he / she complains of any of the following: • temperature of 100.4 or greater • vomiting and / or diarrhea • an undetermined rash • feeling too ill to remain at school To prevent exposing other student unnecessarily to illness, a student should not come to school if he / she has the following symptoms: • Vomiting and / or diarrhea the morning of school • An undetermined rash • A temperature of 100.4 or greater within the past 24 hours If a student must leave school due to illness, the parent / guardian is responsible for transportation. If you are not available, the person you designated on your student.s emergency information card will be notified to pick them up. Facilities for keeping your child are limited; therefore, it is important that your child be picked up promptly. Please feel free to contact the clinic if you have ANY questions!! 281-634-5005
