Health Information
Pupils attending school should be physically healthy, without signs of contagious diseases. Parents are asked to keep their sick children home until all signs of contagiousness, such as vomiting, diarrhea, and fevers, have subsided, medication-free, for 24 hours. Communicable diseases, including COVID-19, should be reported to the school office so that exposure notices may be sent to classmates. Basic first aid will be provided by designated school personnel. Parents will be notified of more complex injuries and illnesses, and students must be picked up from school immediately.

Medications & Medical FormsTop of Page
If prescribed or over-the-counter medications are to be administered or taken during school hours, a Medication Authorization Form must be completed and returned to the school office with medication(s) before your child begins or returns to school. The student's parent/guardian and authorized health care provider must indicate on the authorization form if the student is allowed to carry and self-administer medication. For students who carry their own medication, it is recommended to have backup medication in the school office. All medication must be in the original prescription bottle/package. Authorization forms must be completed annually. [California Education Codes 49423 and 49423.1]
