Those from out of state should complete our health record form, as well as all entering Kindergarten students and those children who had no public Kindergarten and are entering first grade. All students will be required to complete the California School Immunization Record card. Physical examinations are REQUIRED for all students entering Kindergarten.
In order to obey state requirements for medications that are taken at school, the following procedure must be followed: All prescribed or over-the-counter medication (aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, vitamins, cough syrup, creams, Tums, etc.), must have a physician’s written order as well as a parent’s written permission form.
These medical forms are available in the school office or the doctor may write a note on his or her prescription tablet. This can be brought into the office or faxed to the school (see fax numbers on title page). Medication forms can be picked up in the office, at welcome day, or you can request one be mailed to you.
Both doctor’s and parent’s permission forms will be required before any over-the-counter medication (aspirin, Tylenol, etc.) will be given. These forms must be renewed or resubmitted each school year.
All medications and consent forms must be brought to the office. Students coming to Elementary Extended Care between 7:00 am - 8:00 am may give their medication and forms to an Extended Care worker. This worker will submit it to the office when it opens.
All medications brought to school must be in the original container (pharmacy labeled). The following information must be on the medication container: Student’s full name, physician’s name and phone number, name of medication, dosage, schedule, dose form, and date of expiration. Pharmaceuticals will be kept in a locked cabinet in the office. If the dose of a medication changes, a written note from the doctor is required before the office can change the dosage administered. This can be done by a note from the doctor on his or her prescription tablet and brought to the office or faxed.
No medications should be carried by students around the campus at any time. Medications, with proper consent forms, are administered by the office personnel. Parents or an adult parent designee must deliver medications to be given at school. No medications should be brought to school by students, or put in a student’s backpack, lunch box or plastic bag. If it is not possible for an adult to deliver the medication, please contact the School Office to discuss delivery of the medication.
If it is absolutely necessary for your child to carry a medication with them, a written request by your child’s doctor will be required before your child carries that medication. Such written request must be turned into the office. Parents assume all liabilities that may arise from this request.
All medications and consent forms must be renewed yearly.
If a student is seen by a doctor and medication is prescribed for a temporary time period (such as a day or a week), a note from the doctor on his or her prescription tablet will be sufficient.
Students who possess or pass narcotics will be automatically suspended and then expelled if the Administration is so convinced.
Head lice are more irritating than dangerous. The worst thing about lice is that it is highly contagious. Any student that contracts head lice will not be allowed to attend class until the hair and scalp is completely free of lice and nits (egg sacks attached to hair shaft). The scalp and hair must be completely free of lice and nits, because there is no way of knowing if all nits are dead or if the student has been re-infected. Clearance must be determined by the office before returning to class.
