Health

Immunizations: Before being admitted to school, your child must have received all state required immunizations:

  • Polio
  • Diphtheria
  • Tetanus
  • Pertussis
  • Measles
  • Rubella
  • Mumps
  • Los Angeles County also requires a tuberculin test for each child entering school.

Your child's immunization record will be periodically assessed by the Health Department. You will be required to keep your child's immunization schedule correct.

Illness: When your child has a communicable illness, please notify the school immediately. We are required to report certain diseases to the local health department.

  • It is very important that if your child shows any sign of illness that he/she be kept out of school. If your child has had a temperature, it should have been normal for 24 hours before you allow your child back to school.
  • If your child has had a contagious illness, a doctor's note is required to admit your child back in school.
  • This policy dramatically reduces the incidence of children being sick and will result in each child being out of school for fewer days.
  • You will be notified if your child develops any symptoms of illness at school. You will be asked to pick up your child as soon as possible. We are not staffed or equipped to care for ill children.
  • If your child is injured at school, we will follow your instructions by phone. If we cannot reach you or other designated emergency contacts, we will call the paramedics and transport your child to Huntington Memorial Hospital.

Medication: All medication must be left in the office. NEVER send medicine or vitamins in your child's lunch box.

  • The school is authorized to dispense prescribed medication only. Please do not send non-prescribed drugs such as aspirin, Tylenol, cough syrups or decongestants.
  • Your child must have been on the prescribed medication for a minimum of 24 hours before they may be brought back to school.
  • A medication consent form must be filled out by the parent before we can dispense medication. Please ask for the form in the office.

Emergency Forms: It may be vital that we be able to reach you or a designated person in case of an emergency.

  • Please keep your child's record updated with current business and home phone numbers, addresses or any other important emergency numbers.
  • Please notify us if you wish to make changes in pick-up authorizations.
