Our students are our most valuable resource. To that end, the district provides registered nurses at each campus. School nursing is a professional registered nursing specialty that involves identification, assessment, prevention, and intervention to remedy or modify students' health needs. The nurses' goal is to promote the optimum health of students and the students' abilities to achieve their individual educational goals.

Each nurse monitors required immunizations, mandated health screenings, and maintains communication with parents, when needed. Please use the links to the right to learn more about the Plano ISD School Health services.

Medical Emergencies

Each campus must have a written parental consent or emergency card on file in the event a student has a medical emergency at school or a school-related activity and the parent/guardian cannot be reached.

Parents/guardians should include information about pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, and medications, etc. on that card. Parents/guardians are required to complete and sign an emergency card each year, keep emergency care information up-to-date (ie: emergency phone numbers, allergies, name of doctor, etc.), and contact the school nurse to update information.

Each school has at least one (1) automated external defibrillator (AED), and a five (5) member emergency response team. The team has a drill at least once a semester. Each AED is equipped with both adult and pediatric electrode pads.
