Your child's teacher and I work closely together to keep your child safe and healthy at school. We consider ourselves part of the team when managing your child's diabetes and we value open communication and trust.
For students who have diabetes and who will seek care for diabetes at school, the parents and physician must provide a diabetic management and treatment plan for school. The parent shall provide all supplies necessary for monitoring and treatment/management of your child's diabetes as well as a diabetic plan from your doctor. The plan must be updated every school year. Our school's 504 Coordinator will contact you regarding setting up a 504 meeting for your child.

Texas Legislation Bill (79R) HB984 states that an "Unlicensed Diabetes Care Assistant" designated by the principal and School Nurse will be instructed and trained in diabetes care. They may administer diabetes treatments, medication, and or procedures if a licensed health care professional is not available.
