NURSE'S NOTES
NEW! Medication Pick Up
If your child has medication at school, please make sure your child has exactly enough medicine to finish the school year. Parents/Guardians are responsible for picking up extra medication. It is against school district policy to send medication home with students. Medication, including inhalers, that has not been picked up will be discarded May 24 at noon.
Calling all 11 year olds!
There are two required booster vaccines that are given at age 11 that Lovejoy ISD must have a record of before entering the 7th grade:
TDaP (Tetanus) booster within the last 5 years
Meningococcal/Meningitis (MCV4) given on or after the 11th birthday
Immunization records may be dropped off in the Sloan Creek front office, mailed, faxed, or emailed to the School Nurse.
Sloan Creek Intermediate School 440 Country Club Road Fairview, TX 75069
Fax: 888-683-0420
Nurse’s email: Jennifer_Busse@lovejoyisd.net
For questions or information about the required immunizations, please go to the Texas Department of State Health Services website at www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize/school.
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
HELPFUL TIPS:
- When communicating an absence please include the first and last name of your student in the email as well as the reason for the absence.
- Automated emails/phone calls are placed at the end of the day to notify parents of any absences that have not been communicated.
- Allow time for your student's attendance to be updated. I will always respond to your email indicating attendance has been updated. Thank you for your patience.
- Who to email - all attendance matters need to go to Julie Boardman, julie_boardman@lovejoyisd.net or scis_attendance@lovejoyisd.net (they both go to Julie)
