Dear HISD Families,
As we begin a new school year, we would like to remind you of the procedures for administering medication at school.
If your child requires medication during the school day—whether prescription or over-the-counter—a physician’s order and parent/guardian permission are both required for the school nurse to administer it. Please use the link below to access the Medication Permission Form, which includes sections for both physician and parent authorization:
https://aptg.co/jPVm3N
If your child has a life-threatening condition and needs to carry diabetes medication, an EpiPen, or an inhaler, a Self-Administration Form must be completed and signed by both your child’s physician and the parent/guardian. Please use the link below to access the form:
https://aptg.co/-MLS7L
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep all students safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Henderson ISD Health Services

Henderson ISD is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of two young lives in a car accident yesterday. Kyla Henderson, a 2020 graduate of Henderson High School, and Aubree Edney, who was preparing to begin sixth grade this fall, both passed away in the crash.
Our hearts are with the Henderson and Edney families, and with all who are grieving this heartbreaking loss. Kyla and Aubree will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved them.
Although our campuses are still on summer schedules, we recognize that this news may be difficult for many in our community and counseling services are available for both staff and students. We encourage anyone in need to reach out.
Please keep these families in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
