Students must be fever-free for 24 hours without the help of medications before returning to school. Using medications to lower a temperature does not make the student less contagious and can lead to illnesses being spread to other students.

Please contact Nurse Eligio via email, cbrown15@kleinisd.net, if you have any questions for our GFE Clinic.

• Please place extra clothes in student's bags in case of accidents or spilled food for students in Grade K-2.
• The clinic needs a 2-weeks notice if you are bringing snacks for your child’s class. Please email Nurse Brown if you have any questions.
• Parents must drop all medications off in the clinic due to paperwork that is required.

Email gwfepto.president@gmail.com for additional info.

PTO will host a holiday shop (Penguin Patch) at GFE when students return from break. Students will be able to purchase gifts for family and friends as a surprise. You can encourage your student to save money over the break and make lists of who they want to buy for when they return.
