Nurse

Because of exposure to other students, children who are ill will not be allowed to remain in school for a long period of time while waiting for someone to pick them up. Parents/guardians are required to keep emergency contact information current so that someone can be reached by telephone and is readily available to pick them up.

To report an illness or absence, please phone the school at 832-5939, and your call will be directed to the clinic. You may also send an email to the nurse at hstutes@sasbmt com. Please remember that a parent must still send a signed note to the school on the day of return.

All students are required to be current on immunizations according to the requirements of the Texas Department of State Health Services-Immunization Branch and the Diocese of Beaumont.

The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Beaumont are not required to accept for enrollment a child who has received an exemption from the immunizations required by the Texas Health and Safety Code. Students may be allowed to enroll provisionally for 30 days, during which time immunization records can be sent to the school. An additional provision of enrollment may be granted to students “in progress.” This refers to those students who have had at least one dose of the age-appropriate vaccine required by the TDH rules.
