Rains ISD

May is #MentalHealthMonth and today, National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day, shines a national spotlight on the importance of caring for every child’s mental health. We’re sharing some quick facts, information, and resources for our Wildcat family to help support positive mental health as an essential part of a child’s healthy development. Life can be challenging, but every day shouldn’t feel hard or out of your control. If it does, take a free anonymous mental health screening at mhascreening.org and check in with your campus counselor for more resources and help. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 988 to reach a local crisis center through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. #RISDMentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthMonth #MHM2023 #MHA #NAMI

Wishing our student athlete, A. Rimbey BEST OF LUCK today as she competes in Austin, Tx for STATE Pole Vaulting! 💙🏆

REMINDER FOR SKYWARD ENROLLMENT From Rains ISD Director of Health Services Please enter ALL students MEDICATIONS they are taking at home AND school and any MEDICAL CONDITIONS and ALLERGIES TO FOODS AND MEDICATIONS, that your child has been diagnosed with by their Doctor. If there are any diagnoses from your Child’s Doctor that include the need for medications/accommodations/monitoring from the school nurse and faculty, we MUST have an Action Plan and Letter of Diagnosis sent from the Doctor to the School. We NEED this information to better care for your child and for safety reasons. For example,iIf Student must be sent to the hospital by Emergency Transport, the Nurse should be able to provide all pertinent information to EMS on their arrival to better care for your child. Furthermore, ANY NEW Medications that your child may take during the school year or CHANGES to current medications, for example, dosing or frequency, or ANY NEW Medical Diagnoses during the school year, the School Nurse MUST be notified of these changes AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! We want to be an extension of your child’s care and support from home. Please help us to accomplish this task!
