UPDATES:
If your student has medication, please come drop it off at the clinic. It cannot be sent with the student to school for safety reasons.
There have been changes to the medication protocol this year. In the past, we were allowed to take over-the-counter (OTC) medications for a period of 2 weeks with just the parent's signature. Health Services is now requiring a doctor's signature for every medication submitted to the clinic, including OTCs. Please email nurse at celigio1@kleinisd.net if you need the required form.

To pick up students in the carpool area, you must have a Greenwood Forest car hang tag displayed in your windshield. If you do not have the hang tag, you must have an ID for us to verify that you have permission to pick up the child.
Any car riders on campus after 4:30 PM (more than 3 times) will be assigned as a bus rider due to staff responsibilities after the school day has ended.
