SB12 update for Health Services effective 10/6
Details can be found @ https://www.friscoisd.org/departments/health-services/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. 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.
...in a nutshell, moving forward, parental consent for routine services is presumed unless a parent chooses to opt-out of a particular routine health service offered by the school district.

Frisco ISD schools have the following on hand to assist in the event of an EMERGENCY:
Epinephrine
Albuterol
Narcan
Aspirin (for adults only)
These stock emergency meds are stored just inside the school health office, Rm A134; please stop by to familiarize yourself with these.
Automated External Defibrillator (AEDs)
Stop The Bleed emergency first aid kits, including tourniquets
Frisco ISD employs a Registered Nurse at every campus.
There are 10 AEDs and 10 Stop The Bleed kits at LTHS, these are wall-mounted next to each other throughout campus.
FISD Nurses complete monthly audits of all emergency meds and equipment. Frisco FD also does unannounced audit on our emergency items.
HEALTH OFFICE VISITS
First-aid and medical care provided by the school nurse is mainly for illness or injury that occurs at school during the school day. The School Clinic is not a Primary Care Office or Urgent Care. The nurse is qualified to collaborate with parent and a child's physician to provide an educational environment in which the child can learn and thrive. The nurse does not make medical diagnoses nor prescribe treatments or medications, but can provide treatments and medications as prescribed by a physician with a doctor's order.
By ensuring students are healthy and safe, the school nurse helps them stay in school and ready to learn, which ultimately contributes to their academic success and lifelong achievement.
With permission from their teacher, a student can be seen in the Clinic for complaints of illness or injury. Use your discretion if the concern requires missing class time. Non-urgent concerns can be handled in class (headaches, stomachaches, dry skin, minor cuts/scrapes, etc). Remember in class-water refreshes the body and increases alertness.
The Clinic is NOT a time out space for the student due to disciplinary issues, nor is the Clinic a sleep area for students that are sleepy or tired.
Always use a timed & written ‘LT Hall Pass’ or ‘Nurse Pass’ when sending a student to the clinic. This ensures students are where they need to be and not out wondering the halls or making detours. You may call me if needed @ ext. 36608. *We do NOT use the QR code or Google doc for nurse passes any longer.
A list of medications that are used in the school clinic for first aid is available on request from the school nurse.
***We do not have nor do we administer any routine medications for colds, allergies, etc; nor do we keep extra clothing items on hand. The student will need to contact their parent for these requests. FISD Medication information: https://www.friscoisd.org/departments/health-services/medical-services There is a landline for student use in the front office and another in the clinic.
The clinic restroom is intended solely for patients who need to use it due to their medical condition (a doctor’s note may be required) or for patients currently in the clinic for a health-related visit.
Frisco ISD clinics do not supply Neosporin.
Student Medication Responsibility: At the high school level, students are expected to take increasing responsibility for their own health care needs. While the nurse provides medication as prescribed, it is not the nurse’s role to track down students or provide daily reminders for scheduled medications. Teachers and students will be notified of medication schedules, and medications are securely available in the clinic. If a student forgets to come at the scheduled time, it is considered a missed dose. This approach encourages students to build self-care awareness and accountability for their own medical plan—important life skills that will serve them well after graduation. If a student misses five consecutive doses, parents/guardians will be notified.
The table below is a guide to help you manage Non-Urgent student concerns in the classroom, significantly reducing lost learning time:
. . . Girl Students - Pads / Tampons *These are not medical / first aid items
In high school, menstruation is a normal part of life—students know it, and so do we. However, periods aren’t always predictable, and sometimes students are caught off guard without the supplies they need.
***Starting this school year 2025-26, pads & tampons will be handled by Ms. Moreno, our counselor's secretary instead of the nurse's office. Keep in mind, this may be located far from many classrooms. A trip there can take significant time and result in students missing important instruction.
One simple way to support your students is by keeping a small supply of menstrual care products in your classroom and letting them know where to find them.This small gesture not only helps students feel more comfortable and supported but can also reduce unnecessary trips out of class. If a student asks to go to the nurse, consider asking, “Are you feeling sick, or do you need something?” Often, it’s the latter—at which point, you can discreetly direct them to your supply. Quick, quiet, and no missed class time.
These small acts of thoughtfulness make a big difference. They show your students that you care, that you're aware of their needs, and that you’re there to support them—qualities that define a truly great teacher.

HALL PASS:
Use of Hallways during Class Time (All Grade Levels): During class times, loitering or standing in the halls is not permitted, and a student must have a hall pass to be outside the classroom for any purpose. Failure to obtain a pass will result in disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Source: Frisco ISD Student Handbook, pg 103.
Purpose of Hall Passes:
Control Movement: Hall passes help teachers monitor and control student movement within the school. This ensures that students are accounted for and reduces the likelihood of students wandering the halls without permission.
Encourage Responsibility: By requiring students to ask for a pass to leave the classroom, schools promote a sense of responsibility and accountability among students. If you’re not in class, you’re not learning.
Limit Disruption: Hall passes can minimize disruptions during class time. By managing when and how students leave, teachers can maintain a more focused learning environment.
Ensure Safety and Accountability: Hall passes serve to ensure student safety and accountability by providing a system to track student movement outside of their classroom during class time, allowing teachers and administrators to know where students are at all time as well as improve security by making sure everyone in the hallways is known by a school staff member.
Reminders:
Students must have a pass to enter the clinic, except for emergent situations. Use an official LT or Nurse Pass.
Do not send students to the clinic during passing period, you will need to give them a pass or they need to check in with their next teacher.
If the student comes for a daily medication/treatment(s), a pass is not necessary.

First Aid bags are available to check out from the clinic for your trip.
SEIZURES
Seizures are temporary disruptions of the brain's electrical activity, which can lead to changes in behavior, movements, or awareness. There are many types of seizures, triggers, and potential manifestations. Familiarize yourself with the student's seizure action plan, which will outline specific instructions for managing seizures.
What should you do when someone has a seizure? Remember the Three C's: CALM - CUSHION - CALL
CALM: Maintain a calm tone to keep other students/adults from panicking. Note the time the seizure started
CUSHION: Keep the person safe, this could include easing out of the chair and to the floor, removing objects that could cause injury, and cushioning their head.
Allow the seizure to happen; do not try to hold them still or restrain them.
Do not put anything in their mouth. If you see that they are starting to vomit or have excess secretions, turn them onto their left side to prevent choking and/or aspiration.
CALL: Call for help - *Use any phone or walkie to notify me and/or the front office to alert CRT. Please let nurse know the student's name so any prescribed emergency meds can be brought from the clinic. Emergency meds are noted on a student's Action Plan and/or on Medical Alerts, (some people do not have meds, others may need a dose if the seizure is > 3 mins or > 5 mins).
Call 911: Seek immediate medical attention if the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes, if it's the person's first seizure or you are not sure , or if they're having trouble breathing.
After a Seizure:
This can be a few seconds to several minutes. Reassure and comfort the student, some may experience confusion or fear following a seizure. Allow the student to remain seated in the classroom until awareness fully returns. Allow the student quiet rest time following the seizure (this can be done in current location).

*Trainer devices are available in the clinic for practice.
Stop The Bleed
Act quickly and save lives! Uncontrolled bleeding can lead to death within minutes. Severe arterial injuries can result in blood loss of up to 2 liters per minute, leading to death in as little as 3 minutes.
If you suspect someone is bleeding heavily, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. First aid measures, such as applying direct pressure to the wound and using a tourniquet if necessary, can help slow down blood loss until professional help arrives.
🧐 Be sure to locate the nearest wall-mounted STB kit to your classroom (next to each AED). These are NOT for routine first aid, these are for emergency bleeding such as trauma, GSW, etc. *If you ever use anything from this kit, please let me know for restocking.
STB training - Required for new staff or anyone who didn’t complete it in previous years:

Narcan
Narcan (generic name: naloxone) is a life-saving medication that rapidly reverses opioid overdoses. It's an opioid antagonist, which means it works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and blocking the effects of opioids.
How it works:
It quickly reverses overdose effects within 2-3 minutes
It can restore normal breathing in someone whose breathing has slowed or stopped
It works even if the person isn't breathing, as it's absorbed through the nasal mucosa
Important usage guidelines:
Can be administered every 2-3 minutes if needed
No medical training is required to use it
Key points:
It's temporary and not a substitute for emergency medical care
Multiple doses may be needed
It's safe to use even if you're unsure whether someone is experiencing an opioid overdose
There's no potential for abuse - it only works if opioids are present in the system
You can now purchase it at most major pharmacies without a prescription.
If you need to use it in an emergency, always call 911 immediately after administration, as medical follow-up is essential.
How to Use Narcan (Naloxone) Opioid Overdose Treatment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8FjunfEUeg *You will get a demonstration at staff PD, trainer is available for hands on practice in the clinic. PS) The person will most likely vomit after treatment, so turn them to the recovery position after administration (left side lying).
Signs of an overdose:
Signs of an overdose:
Small, constricted “pinpoint pupils”
Face is extremely pale and/or feels cold or clammy to the touch
Body goes limp
Fingernails or lips have a purple or blue color
Vomiting or making gurgling noises
Cannot be awakened or unable to speak
Breathing or heartbeat slows or stops
How to save a life:
How to save a life:
Call 911 right away
Try to wake the person up
Give naloxone, if available
Begin rescue breathing or CPR
Turn the person on their side to prevent choking
Stay with the person until emergency services arrive
AED - Automated External Defibrillator
An AED is a lifesaving device used to help people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. The device analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electric shock to help restore a normal heartbeat.
When performing CPR, you should always locate and use an AED as quickly as possible. These devices are designed to be user-friendly – simply turn it on, and the AED will provide clear, step-by-step voice instructions. The device will guide you through pad placement, rhythm analysis, and if needed, shock delivery. Time is critical during cardiac arrest, as every minute without treatment decreases the chance of survival.
AEDs are safe and designed for use by both medical professionals and the general public.
How to use an AED: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DnOCSyKluY&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1722621940605114&usg=AOvVaw0PFMJUbzGhbS0ETY4Q6ij-
CPR, AED / First Aid Training
TEC §22.902 requires every nurse, athletic coach or sponsor, PE teacher, marching band director, cheerleading coach and student athletic trainer maintain current certification in the use of an AED. Additionally, training in CPR and use of an AED must be offered to employees and volunteers.
TEC §33.086 requires the marching band director, head coach or chief sponsor of an extracurricular athletic activity (including cheerleading) that is sponsored or sanctioned by the district or UIL must maintain current certification in first aid and CPR.
Classes may be offered periodically during the school year as well as over the summer break by FISD Nursing Staff and/or Athletic Trainers. You can find a course in Strive (Eduphoria) by searching for "CPR". Certification is good for 2 years through American Heart Association.
Ask me if you need renewal or training so we can plan something.
Sudden cardiac arrest can strike anywhere, anytime—even in the workplace or on the field. Knowing how to act quickly can mean the difference between life and death. Watch these four simple steps to perform hands-only CPR until help arrives: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPWfHVPjSGr/
UDCA - Unlicensed Diabetic Care Assistant
If you signed up to be a UDCA, please complete the training that was emailed to you over the summer. After you complete the online portion of the training, print your certificate and bring it to me to check you off on the skills portion of the course.
If you are interested in being a UDCA, please let me know!
An Unlicensed Diabetes Care Assistant (UDCA) is a school employee who has been trained to assist students with diabetes in managing their condition when a school nurse is not available, ensuring that students with diabetes can safely participate in school activities. UDCA training in Texas, for example, requires understanding a student's Individualized Health Plan (IHP), recognizing high and low blood sugar symptoms, checking blood glucose and urine ketone levels, administering glucagon and insulin, and recording results.
ELEVATOR PASS
Allows a student to use the elevator when they have an injury or illness that requires it to ensure their safety and comfort while navigating the school environment. To get an elevator pass, a student must provide a written note from a doctor or athletic trainer to the nurse's office. The note should include the reason for needing to use the elevator and how long the student will need to use it.
Here are some other things to know about elevator nurse passes:
The student must keep the pass visible while using the elevator.
The student must return the pass to the clinic when they are no longer using the elevator.
Students must follow the student code of conduct while using the elevator.
Students should not use the elevator during a fire or tornado drill, or if there is an actual fire or tornado. The student is to request assistance from a nearby staff member.
If an elevator is not working, students should notify the front office from a classroom or other school phone.
Key reasons for this practice:
Safety: Navigating stairs can be hazardous for students with mobility impairments. Using the elevator reduces the risk of falls or further injury.
Accessibility: Elevators provide easier access to different floors, ensuring that students can attend classes and participate in school activities without undue strain or difficulty.
Dignity and Inclusion: Allowing students to use the elevator helps maintain their dignity and promotes inclusion. It ensures they can move around the school without feeling singled out or limited by their injury.
Health Considerations: Students with injuries may experience pain or fatigue. Using the elevator can help them conserve energy and avoid exacerbating their condition.
To accommodate students with temporary disabilities, which may include issuing elevator passes as part of a broader support system.
STRYKER CHAIR
Safety Protocol: Using Stryker Emergency Evacuation Chairs
Every staff member must be prepared to operate our Stryker Emergency Evacuation Chairs, which are essential for safely evacuating students with mobility restrictions during emergencies or drills. Since elevators are inoperable during these situations, these chairs are our primary tools for helping students with medical accommodations safely exit the building.
We have two Stryker Chairs at LT, conveniently mounted in green metal cabinets in the B and D collaboration spaces on the second floor. While these chairs may look complex at first glance, they're designed to be straightforward and user-friendly.
For optimal safety, we recommend two people operate each chair during evacuation:
One person at the front using the carry handles, walking down the stairs
One person at the rear helping to control and stabilize the descent
Please familiarize yourself with these chairs before an emergency occurs. This is especially important when you receive notice of a student's medical restrictions or accommodations, as you may be responsible for assisting that student during an evacuation.
2025 Passport Health/Staying Healthy Medical Services will be providing a vaccination clinic for Frisco ISD this Fall.

Training Staff at the Beginning of the Year
AED/Epinephrine Auto-Injector Training
At the beginning of the year, nurses train staff on the location and give a quick demonstration on how to use the AED. This is best done at a staff meeting at the beginning of the year, or during the other campus trainings the week before school starts.
Per Title 25, Chapter 37, Rule §37.605 of the Texas Administrative Code, schools are required to have at least one staff member who is trained and authorized to administer an epinephrine auto-injector present on campus during all hours the campus is open for school-sponsored activities. The training can be face-to-face or online. All staff are trained through Public School Works at the beginning of each school year. Additional training for those authorized to administer epinephrine must include hands-on training and demonstration of administration skills. Each campus must maintain training records and make the records available upon request. School personnel trained and authorized to administer the unassigned epinephrine auto-injector on campus must submit a signed statement indicating that they agree to perform this service. Form is available in the LiveBinder. This can be accomplished at a staff meeting at the beginning of the year before school starts. See Video: https://www.epipen.com/about-epipen-and-generic/how-to-use-epipen
Stop the Bleed Training – TEC §38.030
Districts are required to provide bleeding control stations and Stop the Bleed Training to school resource officers and all other “district personnel who may be reasonably expected to use a bleeding control station.” The law does not state annually.
Present new staff members with the Texas-Only Stop the Bleed PowerPoint presentation (https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/online-course/) and then complete the skills portion. Participant Sign-In Sheet and Certificate for Attendees is available on the Stop the Bleed website. Staff members should retain the certificate of completion as proof they have taken the Stop the Bleed training and upload a copy of it to their Eduphoria/Strive Portfolio.
Alternatively, the STOP THE BLEED® Program now offers students the option to fulfill the lecture requirement of the course by completing the STOP THE BLEED® Interactive Course on the Public School Works site and accessed through the Compliance Training tile in the Portal. Search Stop the Bleed and choose the Interactive Course (M-945). This virtual course allows individuals to go through animated videos, diagrams, and quizzes. While the interactive course fulfills the lecture portion, it does not allow them to receive a certificate of completion until they complete the hands-on skills portion of the course. Participants then attend a Skills-Only STOP THE BLEED® Course to receive their certificate of completion. At the conclusion of the course, they will receive an email with their final quiz results. Participants must show the instructor this document to receive a certificate of completion after they have completed the skills-only portion of the course.
This training is also required to be offered to students in grades 7 or higher each year.
One of the nurses will train and certify you as a Stop the Bleed instructor. You will then register as an instructor on the Stop the Bleed website to access the PowerPoint, sign in sheet, and completion certificate. Skills check-off sheet for Stop the Bleed can be found in the LiveBinder.
UDCA Training – Texas Health & Safety Code §168.005
Every campus that has a student with Type 1 Diabetes enrolled, must have at least one UDCA (Unlicensed Diabetic Care Assistant) trained. Training must be provided before the beginning of the school year or as soon as practicable following enrollment of a student with diabetes. You may have as many UDCAs as you think your campus needs. This training is provided through a course online through the FISD Canvas tile. After they complete the online portion of the training, the nurse will check them off on the skills portion of the course. Each campus has a UDCA kit to use for training. Check-off sheets can be found on the LiveBinder. Send an email to Stephanie Campbell with the names of your UDCAs and she will send your UDCA information on the UDCA course.
Principal Designee Training
The principal will designate a staff member to be your back-up when you are not available. This is usually someone in the front office such as the principal’s secretary or data clerk. You will train him/her on how to administer the medications and orientation to your clinic. The check-off sheets and Principal Designee form can be found in the LiveBinder.
CPR, AED and First Aid Training
TEC §22.902 requires every nurse, athletic coach or sponsor, PE teacher, marching band director, cheerleading coach and student athletic trainer maintain current certification in the use of an AED. Additionally, training in CPR and use of an AED must be offered to employees and volunteers.
TEC §33.086 requires the marching band director, head coach or chief sponsor of an extracurricular athletic activity (including cheerleading) that is sponsored or sanctioned by the district or UIL must maintain current certification in first aid and CPR.
We will set up a class for new nurses to become certified as an AHA Heartsaver or BLS Instructors in September or October. You will get more information on this topic later. If you have any questions, call or send an email to Stephanie Campbell.
