The ability to learn at school is directly related to the status of a student’s health. Students must be healthy in order to be educated, and they must be educated in order to remain healthy. Hawley ISD employs two full-time nurses to serve our campuses. They are health advocates for all the school children and staff, providing preventative health information, health assessments and referral services. The principals on each campus have designated employees to render first aid in the absence of the nurses. The goal of Hawley ISD Health Services is to keep students in school so they can learn. However, it is important for parents/guardians to know that schools are required to exclude students from school with certain contagious illnesses. A student must e fever-free for 24 hours (below 100.0) without the use of fever-reducing medicine, and also free from vomiting and diarrhea for 24 hours from the last episode.
