Dear The Classical Academies’ Families,

Under California Education Code §§ 49423, students who require medication administration assistance to support learning and attendance during the school day must meet certain requirements before a school may assist with that medication. Medication administration is provided under the direct and indirect supervision of the School Nurse. If a student needs medication during the school day, the following guidelines must be followed:

• Complete a Medication Request Form for all prescription, over the counter, and herbal medications that includes the name of the medication, dosage, route, and time needed. The form requires signatures by both the parent and the student’s primary care physician.  The physician must be licensed in the state of California.

• The completed form should be given to the Health Technician at the same time as you deliver the medication.

• The medication must be in the original pharmacy-labeled container stating the student’s full name, medication name, proper dosage, and time to be given. Please check the expiration date on all medications you provide to the school and update the medications as needed. A one month supply is preferred and then replenished as needed. 

Please let your student know that they will be asked to come to the front office to receive their medications. Students are not allowed to self-carry medication UNLESS the self-carry form is filled out and approved by the school. Note: the school does not have standing orders to supply over-the-counter medications to students such as Tylenol, Advil/Motrin, etc.  These medications require the medication process to be followed and can NOT be carried without proper documentation.  

If your student has a chronic health condition, please have the appropriate action plan completed and signed by your student's primary care physician and parent per the following: 

• Life Threatening Food Allergy - Allergy Action Plan 

• Asthma - Asthma Action Plan

• Type 1 Diabetes - Diabetes Action Plan

• Seizures - Seizure Action Plan

If you have any questions about medications or your students health needs, please contact our District Nurse, Stacy Munro, RN at smunro@classicalacademy.com.   

New Phone Policy

It will be mandatory for all student cellphones/smartwatches to be in silent mode and in backpack. They will not be allowed in a pocket or with the student while on campus. They may not be taken out at any time. 

Students may call or text only with Staff approval in the front office. If you need to get in touch with your student, please call our front office at 760-330-9800. We are happy to deliver a message or have them come to the office to speak with you.  If there is a medical exemption needed, please let us know. 

• 1st offense - Teacher takes phone/smartwatch - email sent to parent as a heads up and reminder of our policy, behavior form filled out, student can pick up at end of day.

• 2nd offense - Phone taken, brought up to the front office, parent emailed, parent required to pick up phone.

• 3rd offense - Phone brought up to the front office, parent notified, admin gets involved, student turns in phone to front office each day through end of unit.

To support academic learning and complete assigned coursework, The Classical Academies will have optional Chromebooks available for home use to students who request them. These devices will be checked out to the student, like textbooks are, and must be returned to the school at the end of the school year. 

Please note: All students will have access to school Chromebooks during the school day. These extra Chromebooks are for home academic use only and may not be brought to school.

To request a Chromebook for your student for home use, please fill out the 2025-2026 Equipment Request Form. There is also a question on this form about assistance with internet connectivity. Please only reply YES to that question if you are in need of assistance with internet access at home and request a hotspot to complete assignments.

 Note: Parents must be present to pick up digital devices. 

Please bring the signed Technology Checkout Form with you if you have requested a Chromebook or internet assistance.
