Good Evening VOK Parents and Families,
Because of a new Texas law (Senate Bill 12), the way schools give basic services has changed.
1. To get simple care in the nurse’s office (like an ice pack or band-aid), or support like counseling, social work, or social skills help — parents now need to give permission.
2. Don’t worry: in an emergency (like serious injuries, allergic reactions, or any life-threatening situation), our VOK staff will always give your child immediate care.
3. Parents must give consent (or decline) for these services. Please click on the link below to fill out the form.
Healthcare Questionnaire
The deadline to complete this is Friday, September 12th.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and supported! 💙
Actualización Importante para las Familias
Debido a una nueva ley de Texas (Proyecto de Ley del Senado 12), la manera en que las escuelas brindan servicios básicos ha cambiado.
1. Para recibir atención simple en la enfermería (como una bolsa de hielo o curita), o apoyos como consejería, trabajo social o ayuda con habilidades sociales — los padres ahora deben dar permiso.
2. No se preocupen: en una emergencia (como lesiones graves, reacciones alérgicas o cualquier situación que ponga en riesgo la vida), nuestro personal de VOK siempre dará atención inmediata a su hijo/a.
3. Los padres deben dar su consentimiento (o rechazarlo) para estos servicios.
