Please provide this information to the school nurse.*

*The above are minimum immunization requirements as set by the Texas Department of Health. School districts
may have stricter requirements. The school nurse will monitor and require immunizations up to 6 months before
the delinquent date.

**new policy 2002-2003-parent must deliver medication to the nurse

Klein school personnel are not permitted to give medication of any kind, including aspirin, similar preparations, or any other drugs, unless the parent requests in writing that there is a need for such medication and the parent provides the medication. If the circumstances are questionable, the school employee reserves the right to deny the parent's request. Students will be scheduled to come to the
clinic for medicines. Due to the large number of medicine administrations each day, a request to administer medication may result in lost instructional time each day.

When administering prescription medicines, the school district would prefer to have a written statement from a physician or dentist licensed to practice in the United States. Information, however, placed on a prescription
label, if it is precise and clear to the school nurse, may be substituted for the above-noted statement. The prescription
must be filled by a pharmacist licensed to practice in the United States. If prescription medicine is required, it must
be in its original container, kept in locked storage in the office of the school nurse or of the principal's designee, and
administered by the nursing staff or a school employee. The school may accept a sufficient quantity of medicine for
one month. Upon receipt, the medicine will be inventoried and discrepancies reported to parents. Only prescription
medication needed for the student to remain in school will be administered. No vitamins, health food, or herbal
preparations will be given by the school nurse.

The above is not intended to prevent a student from having in his or her possession and taking aspirin, allergy tablet,
or other similar non-prescription medication during the school day. The medication must be in its original container.
It is strongly recommended that the student go to the clinic or nurse's office, since the consumption of pills in any form
during the school day or on the school campus increases the likelihood of a student being mistakenly charged with a
violation of the district's policy on drug abuse.

Medication with limited duration will be administered for the time prescribed on the label, and any leftover medicine
not picked up by the parent will be destroyed after two weeks.

The following conditions require exclusion from school attendance in accordance to guidelines
adopted by the Texas Department of Health, effective September 1, 1997. Refer to the Klein
Handbook p. 20-22 for remainder of guidelines.

Chickenpox:

Readmit after 7 days from onset of rash, except immunocompromised individuals who
should not return until all blisters have crusted over (may be longer than 7 days).




Conjunctivitis (bacterial and/or viral):

Readmit after a physician's certificate or health permit is obtained or after prescription
medication has been initiated.




Fever (100.4 or greater):

Readmit when the child has been free of fever for 24 hours.




Gastroenteritis, viral:

Readmit after diarrhea subsides.




Head lice (pediculosis):

Students found to have nits less then ¼ inch from the scalp or live lice will be excluded from school.
They will be readmitted when one medicated shampoo or lotion treatment has been given and
documentation indicating type of treatment is provided to the school nurse. The student must be
checked by the nurse before returning to class. (If the nurse finds live lice still in evidence, the parent
will be notified and the student excluded.) Since no treatment kills 100% of nits or eggs, nits need
to be removed as much as possible. A second treatment should be given 7 or 10 days after the first.
The nurse will recheck the student at that time.




Streptococcal sore throat and scarlet fever:

Readmit after 24 hours from time antibiotic treatment was begun.
