Reminders from Nurse Erdin
Parents of 6th grade students:
If your child has received the Tdap and Meningitis vaccines that are required by the state for 7th grade, please email me a copy of the vaccine record. You may also bring in a copy to the front office. I will then update their records for the upcoming school year.
Thank you!
Injuries
If your child sustains an injury outside of school, please notify me via email (lauren.erdin@springbranchisd.com) or phone at 713-251-4425. By doing so, I can notify teachers and help them navigate getting to/from classes safely.
No Uber Eat or Door Dash
Students should either pack a lunch from home or purchase food in the cafeteria. Forgotten lunches must be dropped off by a parent/guardian. No Door Dash or Uber Eats will be accepted.
