When you have verification of the fact that your child has a communicable disease, please call the school immediately so that we can inform other parents. Because school children are easily susceptible to communicable diseases, the school reserves the right to make judgment concerning the child's ability to participate in daily school activities. Please do not send your child to school when he/she is ill. We send sick children home!
If the children show any of the above symptoms, they are separated from the other children and allowed to rest. Parents are contacted to appraise the situation and determine what action is to be taken. If parents cannot be reached, then emergency numbers are called.
Beginning this school year, our medication policies had to change based on the NM Department of Health and the NM Public Education Department regulations.
ALL medications (prescription and over-the-counter must have a doctor/provider order for TMEMS staff to administer the medication at school or on field trips).
If your child needs medication at school, please ensure your medical provider completes the documents before the first day of school. You can find the various forms here: Medication Reference Sheet
