Keep emergency info updated with current home and work telephone numbers.  Provide names and phone numbers of relatives or friends who should be contacted if a parent is unable to be reached.  With very busy schedules, it is often difficult to reach a parent or responsible adult when students become ill or injured.  Keep your child posted on your whereabouts.  A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN must sign electronically the authorization allowing the school to seek emergency treatment for their child.  This signature allows the school to give information to emergency medical services and teachers.

NO SHOTS, NO ADMITTANCE

Students may NOT carry medications on campus.  All medication must be clearly labeled and is to be kept in the Health Office in a locked cabinet.  The only exception to this policy is an inhaler.  All medication including inhalers, prescription meds, and over-the-counter meds are to be reviewed by the school nurse.  A Medication at School form signed by the parent and physician must be presented to the school nurse for all medication to be administered at school and renewed each academic school year.  The Health Office does not keep medication for general student use.

Education Code Section 49423 defines certain requirements for administration of medication,"……any pupil who is required to take, during the regular school day, medication prescribed for him/her by a physician, may be assisted by the school nurse or other designated school personnel if the school district receives

1. a written statement from such physician detailing the method, amount, and time schedules by which such medication is to be taken and;

2. a written statement from the parent or guardian of the pupil indicating the desire that the school district assist the pupil in the matter set forth in the physician's statement."

• Medications for off-campus activities (field trips, Grad Nite, etc.) require additional authorization.  See Nurse.
