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.

    Clinic Procedures

    It 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
    To prevent exposing other students 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 100.0 or greater within the past 24 hours 

    To protect our students from contagious illnesses, students infected with certain diseases are not allowed to come to school while contagious. If a parent suspects that his/her child has a contagious disease the parent should contact the school nurse or principal so the other students who might have been exposed to the disease can be alerted.
