Has your family experienced a relational change that has impacted your child? The Changes at Home small group is designed to teach students how to use healthy coping strategies when dealing with a family change at home, such as divorce or separation. This group may help your child connect with other kids who may share similar thoughts and feelings, reflect on their thoughts and feelings and gain tools to help them cope with their emotions in a healthy way.

If you are interested in your child participating in this small group please complete this Google Parent Permission Form or contact the BBE Counselor, Julie Wimberly at 281-641-1607.

After reviewing Red Ribbon Week lessons with the counselor and students, they are now educated that any medicine is to be brought to and from the school by a parent/guardian and will be kept in the nurse's office and locked for safety reasons.

Another important topic- cough drops are not allowed in Humble ISD schools per policy.

Please read the Humble ISD medication policy.

A medication form needs to be completed and signed and turned in with the medication in the original container (not a plastic bag).

Prescriptions that are needed for more than 10 days will need a medical provider's authorization signature.

Thank you,
