⚠️ Action Required: Parent Consent Needed for Nurse and Counselor Services ⚠️
Beginning September 1, 2025, a new Texas law (Senate Bill 12) requires parental consent before school nurses may provide health-related services to students and before school counselors may provide routine counseling services to students.
Without your consent, nurses and counselors will only be able to provide assistance in emergencies. This means we will not be able to provide health services such as basic first aid (including bandages and ice packs), or routine counseling services until the consent form is completed.
Please log in to your Skyward Family Access account to complete and submit the consent form. The form must be completed on a computer, not on a mobile device. If you do not have access to a computer, please visit your child’s campus office for assistance with log in.
Thank you for your partnership in supporting student health and well-being.
