Varicella vaccine is now available at the LMRHC or with the school nurse. It may be given at school with a parents permission and the appropriate paperwork. These vaccines must be complete for your student to continue in school. You would have received a note or letter letting your know that your student was in need of a vaccine.

We have completed the first stage in screening all elementary student's hearing. In a couple of weeks, you may be receiving a referral to your physician for further evaluation. I am currently in the process of vision screening. Even if your student does not get a referral for either vision or hearing and you suspect them having trouble, please contact your physician.

Welcome back to Olney ISD! I am excited to start a new school year. This year we want to continue to encourage hand hygiene to prevent the spread of illness. Please continue this practice at home. Hand washing is the #1 way we can prevent the spread of germs!!
We are also checking records making sure everyone is up to date on their immunizations. This year there are new requirements for K and 7th grade. Notes were sent home at the end of last year. If your student needs immunizations, please get them ASAP. Immunization Requirements
There has been a lot of talk about H1N1 flu or swine flu in the news. At Olney ISD we are taking the appropriate precautions. Here is some info you may find helpful about the flu. H1N1 Flu Info
