⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️ NURSE VISITS & IMMUNIZATIONS: This year we need families to fill out a form in order to be seen by the nurse because of a recent state law that has passed. We will be sending paper copies of this form home with student that we need returned. However, in the event that your child may need to see the nurse on the first day of school, the form is linked here. 

Per TEXAS State Requirements - As per state regulations, all students must have up-to-date immunization records on file with the school. Students will not be allowed to attend if they do not have their immunization records up to date. (or an affidavit turned in for those who choose not to vaccinate.) These records are CRUCIAL for the health and safety of all students and staff. If you need assistance please reach out to Nurse Arteaga at mariamartinez8@dallasisd.org. 

🚌 🚘 TRANSPORTATION: Please fill out our transportation form, so we know how your student is getting home the first week of school and for the rest of year. Whether your student is a walker, car rider, attending YMCA, etc. this form is imperative to helping us run a fast and smooth dismissal! The link is here. More information on the bus schedule can be found here.  If you do not see a bus stop on the bus schedule and would like to request one, please fill out this form. At least 5 students need to be requesting the same stop in order for transportation services to add it to the bus schedule!
