• First Aid & Emergency Care: Our trained staff provides immediate care for minor injuries and illnesses that occur during school hours. In case of serious emergencies, we contact parents/guardians and, if necessary, emergency services.
• Medication Administration: If a student requires medication during school hours, our staff follows strict district guidelines to administer prescribed and over-the-counter medications with proper documentation and parent/physician authorization.
• Chronic Health Condition Support: We collaborate with families to create health plans for students with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, severe allergies, or epilepsy, ensuring they receive the necessary support at school.
• Immunization Compliance: We ensure that all students meet California’s immunization requirements before attending school. Families can contact the health office for guidance on required vaccines and exemptions.
• Health Screenings: Vision and hearing screenings are conducted at select grade levels to help identify any potential health concerns that could impact a student’s learning. Parents are notified if follow-up care is recommended.
• Illness Prevention & Health Education: We promote healthy habits, such as proper handwashing, nutrition, and hygiene, to prevent the spread of illness. Our team also provides guidance on when a child should stay home due to illness.
• Communicable Disease Monitoring: The health office tracks and reports illnesses to help prevent the spread of contagious diseases. We follow state and county health department guidelines for managing outbreaks.

MRSA Parent Information Pamphet (English)

Information on MRSA can be found on the website maintained by The Center for Disease Control

The district is taking every precaution to keep our schools free of this highly drug-resistant germ. Having a discussion with your children regarding the need to wash their hands often is also a good idea, as well as following the suggestions the CDC has to offer. We will keep you informed of updates we might receive from our local health department.

We have attached parent information brochures we received from the state. They are also being sent home with the students.

As the season changes we will work to keep our site updated with letting you know when colds and flu are hitting at the schools. In a contained environment, such as the classroom, children have a tendency to move the germs to each other, which in turn students bring them home to the rest of the family.
It is important that when your child is sick and has a fever that they are kept home. If your child has been diagnosed by your family doctor with chicken pox, strep throat, scarlet fever, measles, mumps, German measles, pink eye, whooping cough and head lice please let the school. Many of the diseases just listed are not ones that we see as frequently as in the past. Strep throat, chicken pox and pink eye are ones that are usually seen during a school year. Please visit the section on communicable diseases on our web site to view the other diseases we would like you to notify us of.
We will be adding pages to the Health Services over time that we feel might be of interest to you and your family.
