Nurse
Ms. Kay Day, RN
My name is Kay Day. I am an RN, and this is my 20th year with the Aledo ISD. The best way to reach me is by phone or through email: kday@aledo.k12.tx.us.
I am in the Clinic all day and can be reached anytime. I screen vision and hearing on all kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders. If there is a problem, I will send a note home with your child. If you have a child in other grades that you want me to screen, just let me know and I will do it a.s.a.p.
All medications to be given at school must be in the original container in a ziplock bag with the proper Medication Administration form. All prescription medications require a signature from the Doctor.
If you have any questions please let me know!!!
Bearcat Care
Bearcat Care offers on-site medical care at each campus clinic, catering to the healthcare needs of both students and staff. Through partnerships with local healthcare providers, telemedicine has brought medical consultations, diagnostics, and treatments right to the school buildings, effectively extending quality healthcare services across school sites in Parker County. Individuals can be seen for a wide variety of reasons, including cold and flu-like symptoms, allergies, fever, sore throat, eye redness, minor abdominal and GI complaints like nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, rash or skin infection, and earaches. The Bearcat Care program also incorporates access to diagnostic procedures allowing for quick and accurate testing for strep infections, COVID-19, flu, and other respiratory illnesses. Last school year, nearly 1,000 telemedicine visits happened in the clinics in AISD schools, offering convenience to parents and students, as well as staff, that is second to none!
Don't forget, you must re-register each year!

Medication Form (Prescription and Over the Counter)
If you know your student will need medication (over the counter or prescription) during the school year, please understand that a new Medication Form will need to be filled out and signed by the parent every school year, and for any/all prescription medications a signature from the prescribing physician will also be needed, along with orders on how the medication is to be administered at school (Medication Name, Dose, Route, Time). Please see the attached Medication Form for more detailed instructions and guidelines per Aledo ISD.
Asthma
As stated above, all prescription medications, including inhalers, require a Medication Form to be filled out and signed by both the parent and the prescribing physician. It is strongly recommended inhalers be kept in the school clinic so the school nurse can assess and assist the student in administering the inhaler as needed; however, in order for students to be able to self-carry their inhaler in their backpack, a separate form must be filled out and signed by the prescribing physician. Please email me and I will provide you with that form.
