Health Services

Temple ISD recognizes that our students are our most valuable resource. With this thought in mind, the goal of Student Health Services is to provide health care professionals on our campuses who are dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of each student. The school nurse coordinates with students, parents, administrators, and community health care providers to provide health care information, emergency and routine health care management; health needs assessments, mandated health screenings, required immunization compliance, medication administration, and specialized health treatments and procedures in the school setting. We are committed to working together as a team to facilitate each student's ability to achieve their individual educational goals.

 

Temple ISD recognizes that you as a parent or guardian have the fundamental right to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of your child.  Temple ISD Nursing Department’s goal is to be a supportive partner in that effort, supporting the general well-being of your student so they can remain academically focused.  
 
Routine health related services promote student safety, wellness, and readiness to learn. The services may be provided by qualified school staff, including nurses and athletic trainers. 
 
Routine Health-Related Services Provided by the Nursing Department at Your Child’s Campus:
  • Injury evaluation, first aid, and treatment
  • Monitoring of chronic health conditions (e.g., asthma, diabetes)
  • Vision and hearing screening
  • Scoliosis screenings - only with parent written consent.
  • Assessment and support of symptoms and complaints of illness
  • Coordination of health services (parents, teachers, physicians, school administrators, community resources, etc.)
 
You have the right to opt out and withhold consent of any of these services to your child by submitting a letter to your campus principal.  The nursing department will assume consent is provided unless you opt out.  You can update your decisions at any time.  Any additional health-related services will necessitate separate written consent and parental involvement, unless during an emergency or as allowed by law.
