SB 12 Parental Consent Forms: Routine Health and Wellness Services
Starting September 1, 2025, in compliance with the new state law (SB12), Texas public school districts are now required to receive parental consent before providing even simple or routine physical and health services to students. For example, before a nurse or counselor can do something as simple as putting a bandage on a skinned knee or helping a child calm their breathing when emotionally upset, the district must have a Routine Health Services Consent Form on file. This does not change Melissa ISD’s commitment to our students, but it does require parents to provide written consent in order for their students to receive school-related physical and mental health services.
Please read and complete the Consent Form. For more information, visit the Melissa ISD Routine Health Services Consent website.
Secondary Parental Consent Form for Library Book Checkout (Grades 6-12)
For grades 6-12 only, please complete the consent form linked below according to your child’s school to indicate whether you permit your student to check out books from their school library that are outside of the standard juvenile collection. When checking out any library book, your student’s library account will indicate to the librarian what permissions you have provided.
Students in Pre-K and grades K-5 are permitted to check out books from the standard juvenile collection in their school library. Pre-K and elementary libraries only contain juvenile books that do not contain mature subject matter; therefore, no consent forms are required.
