Hello!
I have been a nurse for 20 years and am proud to call Frisco home.
Thank you for partnering with me to help ensure your child's health and safety while they’re at school. My goal is to eliminate health-related barriers to learning and promote optimal wellness for our students. By ensuring students are healthy and safe, I can help support them to stay in school and ready to learn, which ultimately contributes to their academic success and lifelong achievement.
At LTHS, our goal is to keep every student as safe and healthy as possible. If your child has any medical conditions, please complete the appropriate forms. Once filled out, forms can be submitted to the Trailblazer Clinic in person or by fax.
Please reach out if you have questions. The best way to contact me is through email.
Thank you,

Dear Trailblazer Parents and Guardians,
As we enter the holiday season, the school clinic has experienced an increase in visits from students with common cold symptoms. Since there is no cure for these minor illnesses and the school nurse cannot diagnose or treat them, students with mild symptoms—such as a runny nose, mild cough, nasal congestion, or occasional sneezing—should remain in class or stay home if they are not feeling well enough to participate in learning. Students who do attend school can usually manage these symptoms while practicing simple self-care, including using tissues, drinking water, covering coughs and sneezes properly, and maintaining good hand hygiene.
If your student has had a fever of 100.0°F or higher or has experienced vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours, they should stay home.
It is the responsibility of parents and guardians to assess whether their child is well enough to attend school each day before arriving on campus. If your child requires medical evaluation, we encourage you to contact their healthcare provider directly.
Parents may excuse up to four absences per semester by reporting them through the school website. If your child sees a doctor, dentist, or utilizes telehealth services, please provide a note to the attendance office so the absence can be officially excused.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students and staff well and focused on learning. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please reach out.
Warm regards,
Christina Salgado, RN
Update on SB 12 as of 10/06/2025 Routine Health Services Consent
Senate Bill 12, which became effective law on September 1, 2025 requires school districts to seek parental consent from parents for health services provided to students. After receiving clarification from the Texas Education Agency (TEA), school districts can seek parental consent under Senate Bill 12 through a selective opt-out option. This means that moving forward, parental consent for routine services is presumed unless a parent chooses to opt-out of a particular routine health services offered by the school district. Viewing Consent Status - Parents can view their consent status for Physical Health Services and Mental Health Services in the Home Access Center. Access the HAC Help page. Please reach out to ISRegistration@friscoisd.org if you have any questions about how to view the status.
