Health Office

Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year

In order for us to provide the best care for your child, please inform the Health Office of any health conditions or any changes in your child's health throughout the school year.

Please contact the School Nurse with any questions or concerns you may have about your child’s health needs.  Parents/Guardians should keep their contact and emergency care information up-to-date at all times.

Looking forward to a wonderful and healthy school year!

Medications at School

If your child will need medication at school, please print the Medication Administration at School Form, or the appropriate form for your child's medical condition (such as asthma, food allergies, diabetes, seizures) under Health Forms and have your healthcare provider complete, sign, and then please return to the School Nurse. 

If your child will self-carry their emergency medication (such as an inhaler, epinephrine auto-injector, diabetic medications/supplies), please print the appropriate form under the Health Forms and return to school. This form must be signed by your healthcare provider.  

  • If your child is in 7th grade or older and participates in sports and/or other activities, we highly recommend that your child self-carry their emergency medication.
  • The Health Office must be aware that the child has a medication with him/her.

Please refer to the Shiner ISD Medication Policy for information on bringing the medication to the School Nurse Office.

Guidelines for the Care of Students with Food Allergies

  • Caring for children with diagnosed food allergies at-risk for anaphylaxis in the school setting requires a collaborative partnership with the students, parents, healthcare providers and school staff.   Please inform the School Nurse if your child has a known food allergy or as soon as possible after any diagnosis of a food allergy. Please print and complete the Allergy Action Plan Form under the Shiner ISD Health Forms. The Accommodating Children with Special Dietary Needs Form must be completed by a physician for food related accommodations in school.  Please see the document and link below for the guidelines from the Texas Department of State Health Services for the care of students with food allergies.

School Health Advisory Council (SHAC)

Texas requires every independent school district to have a School Health Advisory Council.  A SHAC is a group of individuals representing segments of the community appointed by the school district to provide advice on coordinated school health programming and its impact on student health and learning.  The School Health Advisory Council serves exclusively in an advisory role, assisting the district in ensuring that local community values and health issues are reflected in the district’s health education instruction. The SISD SHAC has at least four meetings per school year, please see below for the dates, times, and location of the meetings.

Shiner ISD is proud to have an active SHAC with members consisting of SISD parents, healthcare professionals, representatives of the community, and school personnel.    

The components of a Coordinated School Health Program include:

  • Nutrition services
  • Physical education
  • Health education
  • Counseling
  • Health services
  • Family and community involvement
  • Healthy school environment
  • Health promotion for school staff

If you would like to become a member of the Shiner ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), please contact the school nurse for an application.
