IMMUNIZATION
A student must be fully immunized against certain diseases or must present a certificate
or statement that, for medical or religious reasons, the student will not be immunized.
The immunizations required are: diphtheria, Rubeola (measles), rubella, mumps, tetanus,
Haemophilus influenzae type B, poliomyelitis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and varicella
(chicken pox). The school nurse can provide information on age-appropriate doses or on
an acceptable physician-validated history of illness required by the Texas Department of
Health. Proof of immunization may be personal records from a licensed physician or
public health clinic with a signature or rubber-stamp validation.
If a student's religious beliefs conflict with the requirement that the student be
immunized, the student must present a statement signed by the student (or by the parent,
if the student is a minor) stating that immunization conflicts with the beliefs and practices
of a recognized church or religious denomination of which the student is an adherent or
member. This statement must be renewed yearly.
If a student should not be immunized for medical reasons, the student or parent must
present a certificate signed by a U.S. licensed physician stating that, in the doctor's
opinion, the immunization required would be harmful to the health and well-being of the
student or any member of the student's family or household. This certificate must be
renewed yearly unless the physician specifies a life-long condition.
LOST AND FOUND
A lost and found department is maintained in the principal's office. When an article is
found, it should be turned in to the office. Inquiry should be made there for lost articles.
It is especially important that all textbooks that are found be turned in as soon as possible.
MAKE-UP WORK
A student may be permitted to make up tests and to turn in projects due in any class
missed because of absence. Secondary teachers may assign a late penalty to any project
in accordance with timelines approved by the principal and previously communicated to
students.
For any class missed, the teacher may assign the student make-up work based on the
instructional objectives for the subject or course and the needs of the individual student in
mastering the essential knowledge and skills or in meeting subject or course
requirements.
