Dear Parents,
I’m excited to share a new tool that Harris County Public Health has recently created to help connect individuals and families with low-cost health services available in their area. This resource makes it easier to find healthcare, dental care, mental health and other health services based on your location. We hope this tool helps you and your family access the resources you need. Please take a moment to explore it and feel free to share it with others who may benefit!

Dear parents ,

As we get closer to the start of the new school year, I’d like to share a few important reminders 🔔:

* Medications: Students are not permitted to carry any medications at school, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications. If your child requires medication during the school day, it must be brought to the school by a parent or guardian. Prescription medications must be accompanied by the required physician’s documentation, be in the original labeled container, and include the dosage exactly as prescribed. 💊

* Immunization Records: If your child receives any vaccinations before or during the school year, please provide the updated immunization record to the school as soon as possible so we can keep their health records current. 💉

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us provide a safe and healthy environment for all students. 🤍

I look forward to seeing everyone back for a wonderful school year! 💫
