Student Medications
If your student has medications in the Nurse’s office, please make arrangements to have the medicine taken home by Thursday, May 23, 2024. All medications left at the school will be disposed of as per Hays CISD guidelines.
Student inhalers will be given to students on the last day in school unless a parent wants to come pick them up. Please contact Nurse Applewhite if you DO NOT want us giving your child their inhaler.
We need your help!!!!
In order to continue to provide one to one device to students, we need students to pay their technology fines. We understand things can happen and nobody purposely causes damages to their devices. We can work out a payment plan if needed. Please review the information below. Thank you!
