Teacher of the Year Nomination Form Support Staff of the Year Nomination Form You may nominate a teacher and/or support staff at any campus, and more than one nomination per person is acceptable.

Texas House Bill 496 Sec. 38.030 requires school districts to implement a Traumatic Injury Response Protocol in the event of a traumatic injury involving blood loss. The bill requires bleeding control kits to be stored in easily accessible areas throughout the district, with training provided to all employees. Additionally, t he bill also asks districts to offer optional training to students in grades 7-12 to empower students to take an active role in their medical safety. Please see the attached Stop the Bleed letter and permission form if your child would like to participate.  Have a great rest of your week and weekend!
