Clinic

Clinic

The clinic helps students cope with illness and injury in the school environment.  Please make sure your child has ALL the required immunizations and provide proof to the Clinic.  Please make sure your child's yellow emergency card has CORRECT telephone numbers and accurate medical information.  NEVER send a sick child to school (fevers 100 degrees or greater, persistent cough, stomach ache, etc.)  Please inform the Clinic if your child has something contagious (pink eye, head lice, etc.)  Please dress your child for the weather (coats on cold days, etc.).

 To prevent allergies and classroom disruption, parents and students are not allowed to bring in outside food to share with other students.  This includes birthday celebrations.

Immunizations

7th grade students MUST have the following immunizations before starting school: 

• Meningococcal Vaccine for rising 7th graders (law on July 1, 2021)

• TDap booster within the last five years.

It is the parent's responsibility to take care of immunizations and to provide proof to the school. If you have questions or are not sure what the shot record means, please call Health Services (727-2363) or the Tarrant Clinic (825-4527). You can obtain the required shots from your health care provider, military clinic, or local health department. All shots required for school are given FREE of CHARGE at the Hampton Health Department, located at 3130 Victoria Blvd., phone number (757) 727-1172.
