First Aid and Illness
Students who are not feeling well or are injured, while at school, are to report to the Health Office to get checked. If the student is unable to remain at school, School Staff will initiate contact with the parent/guardian. If your child calls you during school hours/class and is not in the Health Office, for their safety, please direct them to the Health Office for proper assessment. We cannot diagnose or treat illness. As needed, we can perform routine first aid for minor injuries or emergency first aid procedures. We also help facilitate referrals to a Clinician/Medical office or Specialist for further medical assessment/evaluation as deemed medically necessary.
Medication at School
- Medication at school is limited to those students who require medication during the school day to treat a specific health problem. A school Medication Form is required. This form is filled out by the attending doctor. Medications are to be supplied by the parent in a pharmacy bottle or original container labeled with the student’s name, name of the drug, correct dosage, as well as the date and amount of original medication in the container.
- Medication is stored in the Health Office with the exception of those situations in which a student requires medication to be carried on his/herself for treatment of emergency conditions.
- The student’s physician must prescribe the medication. Over the counter medication (such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen) must also be authorized by the student’s physician. The Parent and Physician must complete and sign the consent and medication authorization form.
- Medications that continue into a new school year require new medication authorization form by Parents and Physicians for each new school year. If your child is currently taking medication at school, please pick up all unused medication by the last day of school.
Student Individualized Health Care Plans
- If your child has an ongoing or temporary medical diagnosis or health condition, injury, or disability which may require medication, limitations, PE restrictions, special needs, daily routine health care, or any other health care support, please contact the school health office. If applicable, a health care plan may be developed to help ensure the health and safety of your student at school.
- All healthcare plans are to be reviewed and updated each school year. Please notify the health office of any changes to your child’s current health status.
- Medication Consent Form, Asthma Health Care Plan, Allergy Action Plan, Seizure Care Plan, Diabetes School Management Plan, PE Limitations Form, and others can be downloaded from this website.
California State-Mandated Health Screenings
Per CA State Education Code, a School Nurse will check your child's vision and hearing as requested by a teacher or through an annual vision and hearing screening done in the 8th grade. These tests will/may be administered unless you present to the school a certificate from a physician, audiologist, or optometrist verifying prior testing, or submit a letter denying consent for your child to be tested for vision and/or hearing.
Confidential Medical Services
School authorities may excuse any student in grades 7 through 12 from school for the purpose of obtaining confidential medical services without the consent of the pupil’s parent or guardian [Education Code 46010.1]
