Medication that must be administered to a student during school hours must be provided by the student’s parent with a prescription from a doctor and a signed permission form from the parent or guardian. All medication must be kept in the nurse’s office in the original bottle with the student’s name and administered by the nurse or another authorized district employee.
Parents should see the campus nurse to drop off medication and sign prescription medication permission forms.
The nurse’s office will not provide or stock any over- the- counter medication. Parents can bring and administer over-the-counter medication to their students as needed.
All students entering seventh grade at Lufkin Middle School must have an up-to-date shot record. This would include the requirements for a Tdap, MCV4, and a Varicella shot for those students who have not had a case of chicken pox or two Varicella shots. In addition, a valid PPD/TB skin test with results is required within the last 12 months (08/01/2016-present) for all new to LISD students and all students entering seventh grade. You will not be able to pick up a schedule in August without proof of completed Immunizations.
Please bring/send a copy of the updated shot record to school. You can also fax a copy to (936) 630-4462 or email a copy to Rachel Hamilton rhamilton@lufkinsid.org
