The goal of Moody ISD Health Services is to provide health care professionals on our campuses who are dedicated to promoting the health and wellness of each student. Our team coordinates with students, parents, administrators, and community health care providers to provide health care information, emergency and routine health care management; health needs assessments, mandated health screenings, required immunization compliance, medication administration, and specialized health treatments and procedures in the school setting. We are committed to working together as a team to facilitate each student's ability to achieve their educational goals. 

 

Moody ISD is committed to provide an environment that is conducive to healthy learning for all students and staff. Some communicable diseases or conditions may warrant exclusion from school to avoid exposing others to risks of infection. If a child is sent home ill they may return the same day if they have a doctor’s release or are cleared by the school nurse. If your student exhibits any of the following symptoms, please keep your student home until the child is free of the symptoms and/or has been satisfactorily treated. The health and safety of all children will be enhanced by following these guidelines. Stay home if any of the following are present:

  • Temperature of 100 degrees or higher. Your child must be 24 hours free of fever without aid of Tylenol, Advil or any other anti-pyretic medication.
  • Vomiting and /or diarrhea. Your child should be free of vomiting and /or diarrhea for 24 hours before they return to school without the aid of medication to suppress symptoms.
  • Persistent cough of unknown origin
  • Rash of unknown origin
  • Open, itchy or draining lesions
  • Painful Red, itchy, draining eyes
  • Suffering from a reportable disease as defined by the Texas Department of State Health
  • Scaly patches on the body or scalp of unknown origin
  • Scabies
  • Prescribed antibiotic therapy taken for less than 24 hours (or time line determined by physician).

 

The Texas Department of State Health Services urges you to obtain necessary vaccines at the earliest possible time to avoid the back to school rush. For information on where you can take your child for free or reduced cost vaccines you can call 2-1-1. This 3-digit toll free number provides information on health and social services in our area.
