STUDENT HEALTH AND SAFETY

California Education Code Section 49423 allows the school nurse or other designated non-medical school personnel to assist students who are required to take medication during the school day. The office staff provides medical attention to students who are ill or injured during the day. Records are kept of all treatments administered. By law we are unable to give any medication without parent approval. The health department does not allow us to give any over-the-counter drugs without parent permission. Forms for long-term or limited-term medications to be administered are in the school office. All students must have an over-the-counter form on file. Students are not allowed to have any over-the-counter or prescription drugs in their possession while on campus.

IF MEDICATION IS TO BE ADMINISTERED AT SCHOOL, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET: All medications are to be supplied by the parent/guardian.

1. A signed request from the parent/guardian must be on file at school.
2. Medication must be delivered to the school by the parent/guardian or other responsible adult.
3. Medication must be in your child's original, labeled pharmacy container written in English.
4. All liquid medication must be accompanied by an appropriate measuring device.
5. Any tablets requiring partial doses (1/2 or 1/4) must be sent to school already cut.
6. A separate form is required for each medication.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

• Earthquake Food supplies will be stored for each student for this purpose. The parent should provide necessary medications. If an earthquake should occur, your children are to remain at school until they are checked out by one of the office staff. Parents or guardians must sign a student out. Our staff has received training in CPR and first aid. Each staff member has been assigned to an Earthquake Preparedness Team and is trained in these procedures.
• Fire A fire drill is practiced periodically so that the children know what to do in case of fire.
