Parents,

If you haven't taken the opportunity to order school supplies or know a friend that might need them, please do so by July 1st. I have attached the EPI Flyer for your convenience. Thank you and we hope that you are enjoying your children. Our office will be closed July 28th- August 1st. We will be excited to return August 5th to prepare for teachers on August 19th and students on August 26th.

Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Parents, 

Thank you for your support with our efforts to collect for the families of Oklahoma. Our children are so kind and loving, thank you. 

This will be our last week (4 days only) before summer break begins for our families. We want you to be aware that this week we are expecting the 2nd administration for 5th grade STAAR Reading and Math. We will share those results with our parents as soon as we have them in hand. 

We will be sending an eBlast out to communicate Meet the Teacher information for the 2013-14 a few times over the summer as well as sharing it with Welcome Home.

School summer hours will be Monday-Thursday 8a.m.-3p.m.

Let's enjoy the final days of the 2012-13 school year!

Thank you,

Helpful Information 

From the School Nurse:

On or before the last day of school, please pick up your child’s medication. The medication cannot be sent home with your child. No exceptions to this procedure will be made. Any medication not picked up by the last day of school will be properly disposed of by Health Services if other arrangements have not been made. Should other arrangements be necessary, please contact the school nurse.

If your child will require medication at school next year, it must be brought to school by an adult.

North East Independent School District policy prohibits students from transporting medication to and from school. All medication must be in the current and properly labeled prescription or medication container. Medication administered at school must be accompanied by the district’s Medication Administration Request Form. This form authorizes school personnel to administer prescribed daily or as needed medication and must be signed by you and your child’s physician. This form is available from your school nurse or from the NEISD Health Services web page (Medication Forms).

We want all students to know the proper use of medication and that misuse of any medication can have potentially serious consequences. All prescription medications and over the counter medications must be treated carefully and cautiously. Your student’s safety is our priority.

Thank you very much for your cooperation in this matter. If you have a question regarding medication for next year or picking up the medication at the end of this year, please call your school nurse.
