Anti-Drug Week | October 28 - November 1

Click HERE for information.

Vision and hearing screenings will take place Oct. 31- Nov. 4. Please make sure your child brings their glasses/hearing aids when they come to school for those days. Thank you!

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 Brown 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.
