Attention parents of incoming 7th graders! Please ensure that the clinic has your student’s updated shot records. It is a Texas Requirement for all 7th grade students to have received both Tdap and Meningitis vaccines. Please note, if proof of your child’s vaccines are not provided to the clinic, the student will not be able to receive their 7th grade schedule or attend classes. These vaccines are usually always given at the 11-year-old well-child visit. You may fax records to 281-644-1671, email them to the nurse, Grace Mejia or drop them off in person.
Thank you!

24 Hour Rule
Students who demonstrate signs and symptoms of illness or a possible communicable disease should be referred to the school clinic for further assessment. Those with an elevated temperature of 100 degrees or above or those who vomit or have diarrhea must be isolated and sent home. The student must be fever free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before he/she can be allowed back to school. Those excluded due to vomiting or diarrhea must also be free of symptoms without the use of preventative medications before being allowed back to school. (Administrative Regulation FFAD)

Immunization Requirements
Katy ISD follows the Texas Department of State Health Services recommendation for immunization compliance in order for a student to attend school. The law requires that all students be as up-to-date as medically feasible in order to attend classes. The immunization vaccine requirements for each grade level are listed on the Katy ISD website. Exemptions to the immunization requirements are allowable on an individual basis for medical contraindications, reasons of conscience-including religious belief, and active duty with the armed forces of the United States. For further information, visit the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Medication Administration
Short term ( 15 days or less) and long term (15 days or more) medications are sometimes prescribed for students to be given during the school day. In such cases, regulations governing administration of medication during school hours must be strictly adhered to by school personnel. Any natural and/or homeopathic products, not FDA approved, will not be dispensed by school personnel.
