Keep Illness At Home

Remember, students who are ill should remain at home.

If a student becomes ill or is injured at school, he/she should get pass from their teacher or staff on duty and go to the Health Room.

If the nurse or health assistant determines that the student needs further treatment or should be sent home, their parents will be contacted.

Parents of students with special health conditions/medication(s) should contact the school nurse.

Required Immunizations

New Mexico state law and APS policy requires all student to be up to date with specific immunizations in order to enroll of remain enrolled in an APS school. Truman Middle School follows both the law and the policy. All students entering 7th grade require a shot that isn't a requirement for 6th grade. That shot is called a "TDAP".

Truman will hold a special immunization event in the Spring for 6th grade students to offer this immunization in preparation for them moving on to 7th grade. Parents and Guardians are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to make sure their child's shots meet State requirements.

Keep Contacts Up To Date

If your child is ill or injured it is essential the nurse's office be able to get in touch with a parent, guardian, or other emergency contact.

If your phone number changes, please make sure the school nurse's office is informed of the correct contact numbers.

Remember, if we can't contact you, we need to be able to contact someone. Please keep phone numbers up to date.

Medications At School
