Notes from Nurse Fritcher
Students must be fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT the use of medication. That means if your student has a fever at 8 PM at night, you would have to check it again at 8PM the next day without giving medication a few hours before rechecking (Tylenol and other medications can reduce fever thus hiding a true fever). Also if a student is having diarrhea or vomiting, and the student is sent home, they will need to be diarrhea/vomiting free for 24 hours without the use of medication. These are safety protocols to help keep your student, and others around your student safe.

Student Safety
Student safety is a top priority at Farney Elementary. If you plan to visit our school, please have your picture ID available every time you are here. When you ring the doorbell, front desk personnel will ask the nature of your visit. Please respond in the intercom. Once access is granted, please enter the security vestibule.
Lunch Visitors
K-5 parents and guardians are invited to visit during lunch starting September 5th. Any other visitors (grandparents, siblings, friends, etc.), must be accompanied by the parent or guardian or have a note giving them permission to eat with the child for each visit. In accordance with CFISD policy, school-age children are not permitted to visit the campus at any time. Due to food and nutrition guidelines, you may bring lunch for your child only. For your convenience, there are tables reserved for you to enjoy lunch with your child. Teachers will call the “Farney Five” at the end of lunch to signal when it is time for your child to say a quick goodbye and rejoin his/her class.
