Nurse Darcy
My name is Darcy Smith, RN, and I am your school nurse here at Mathews!

Our students are our most valuable resource. In recognition of that, Plano ISD provides a registered nurse at each campus. The school nurse serves as a liaison between school personnel, family, community, and healthcare providers to advocate for student health and a healthy school environment.
School nursing is a professional, registered nursing specialty that involves identification, assessment, prevention, and intervention to remedy or modify students' health needs. The nurse's goal is to promote the optimum health of students and the each student's ability to achieve their individual educational goals.
Nurses monitor required immunizations, perform mandated health screenings, track communicable diseases, plan for emergencies, and provide direct care to students. Please use the links to the left to learn more about the Plano ISD District Health Services.
We would like to assure you that medical information about your child is treated as confidential by the nurses and all school staff. We do not share information about your child with outside parties nor can we discuss health concerns of any other student with you.
Parents, did you know you can review your child's instructional materials and instructional plans? In accordance with Texas Senate Bill 12, we're making it easier than ever to stay informed!
· A copy of my instructional plan is available on the district website at https://www.pisd.edu/students-families-a6/instructionalplans.
· You can review many of the digital instructional materials used in class directly through your student's digital webdesk. If you'd like to review additional materials or tests after they've been administered, please contact me.
