How you can be a healthy MAC student...
     our main goal as a school health program, so students can learn!

  • Eat breakfast every day - yes, you do have time!  Studies show that students who eat breakfast earn better grades (especially in math), have fewer absences and behavior problems.  The nurse will not supply breakfast when you get that "no breakfast headache" about 10:30 a.m. SCHOOL MENUS
  • Emergency cards are necessary - Students should return their blue card the first week of school each year. If parent phone numbers change during the year, please call with the updates. Accidents do occur.
    MORE INFO
  • Special health needs - please make the nurse aware of any special health needs. I will inform your teachers of special  concerns in the classroom. This information will be kept confidential.
  • Insurance - Health insurance is available for students age 18 or younger through the CHIPS program and TEXCARE Partnership.
    MORE INFO - TexCare Web Site (bilingüe)
  • Immunizations - when you get immunizations, please bring  the record to the school nurse so we can update your school health folder. (See below.)
  • Protect yourself - wash hands frequently, do not share drinks or food with friends.Get enough sleep (at home at night--not in class).  If you have a temperature above 100.0 - please remain at home.  Diseases spread rapidly if  ill students are in the classroom.
