Welcome to Hyde Park Schools' Health Services! At Hyde Park, the health and safety of your children is our highest concern. This page provides much of the information and related forms students need. However, our Health Services staff is happy to answer any questions you might have.
Please make sure your child's immunizations are up to date. All records must be current by the first day of school. If a student is not current, he or she will NOT be permitted to attend school. Please upload a copy of all the updated records to your child's SNAP Health Portal.
Please click the sidebar to see the HP Immunization Policy, Texas Immunization Requirements, and other important requirements.

Illness Policy
Illness at school is evaluated by the school health staff on duty. A student with the following symptoms will be sent home from school:
100.0 F Orally
Diarrhea
A student must be free of fever (<100.0) for 24 hours without the use of fever suppressing medications to be readmitted to school. In most cases, when prescribed an antibiotic, students must be on the antibiotic for 24 hours before returning to school.
In the event that your child has a health emergency at school, and a parent cannot be reached, he/she will be taken to the nearest emergency facility.
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are located on all HP campuses.
