State law requires that every child who is admitted to school must have written evidence of a medical exam and up-to-date vaccinations. These records are kept in the school office. If a notice regarding immunizations is received, please cooperate and provide the necessary information. If immunizations and exams are not current, a child must stay at home until this information is complete. Holy Angels School complies with all State of California health requirements pertaining to immunizations.
Children who become ill during school hours will be sent home as soon as possible, which is why it is important to keep emergency information current in SchoolSpeak. Children should not be sent to school sick, as it exposes other children to illnesses. The school cannot take responsibility for a sick child and is not permitted to administer medication of any kind without written instructions. (See MEDICATION)
School personnel will give first aid treatment only. If emergency medical treatment is necessary, parents will be contacted. In case of a serious medical emergency 911 will be called.
