Clinic Information

  • FBISD School Health Services program is dedicated to creating a culture of wellness that supports student success.

    A Registered Nurse is assigned to each elementary and middle school campus while a Registered Nurse and Licensed Vocational Nurse are assigned to each high school campus. The school nurse assists students' physical, mental and social growth by providing a health services program that assesses, evaluates and improves the health of students and staff.

    Please contact your school nurse regarding your student's health issues and concerns, hospitalizations and/or treatment changes.

     
    Clinic ProceduresIt is required that illness/injury occurring at home be taken care of at home and that students do not go directly to the clinic upon arrival at school.A student will not be allowed to remain in school if he/she complains of any of the following:
    • temperature of 100.0 or greater
    • vomiting and/or diarrhea
    • an undetermined rash
    • feeling too ill to remain at school

    A student may return to school when:

         • Fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications
         • Diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of diarrhea suppressing medications
         • Vomiting free for 24 hours unless a doctor’s written documentation that the vomiting is not a result of an infectious disease and the child is not in danger of dehydration.
         • Rash is gone and absence of fever for 24 hours or has been identified as non-communicable by a physician licensed to practice in the State of Texas

    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.

     Medications:

    All medications (prescription and non-prescription) must be furnished by the parent/guardian and appropriate medication administration forms must be completed by the parent/guardian. Medication will be delivered to the clinic by the parent/guardian in the original and properly labeled container and must be picked up by the parent/guardian or another adult which the parent/guardian can designate. 
     
    Medication administration requests for prescription medication or medication given greater than 15 school days must have the signature/directions of the physician. For prescription medications that are left at school, a second labeled container can be obtained from your pharmacy. When medication is discontinued, it must be picked up by the parent/guardian
