What do I need to do to be seen at the clinic?
Families can complete a GISD-LSCC Campus Clinic General Consent for Treatment form. This is available on the district website and at the clinic. Completing the form in advance, and sharing it with your child’s school nurse, will allow the clinic to see your child immediately if they become ill at school.
Is there any additional paperwork? Students and other patients who are new to Lone Star Circle of Care will need to separately complete additional forms available at https://lonestarcares.org/patients/medical-records-forms/patient-forms/ . These forms may also be completed using the OTech uStart pre-check-in process that will be emailed to the patient or parent/guardian after scheduling the first clinic appointment.
