HISD Parent and Students: Please support your students by making sure they are at school every day--all day. When students miss any part of the school day, notes need to be turned in for every student absence. An "Absence" includes missing an entire school day, part of day or period (even just one period) or signing out early. Five parent notes are excused from truancy for the school year in HISD.

Remember: Ten absences = Saturday School

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
