COVID PROTOCOLS
Due to the restrictions based on the COVID-19 pandemic, the information below may be outdated. Please refer to the Parent Landing for current information regarding procedures. This page will be updated over the summer to reflect new standing rules for the 2021-2022 school year based on the recommendations of the school district and the CDC.
Our school has a school nurse available one day a week, and a health technician available five days a week. It is important to let the nurse and/or classroom teacher know of any health concerns that may arise during the school year. Updated information on your child's registration card is critical when there is an emergency involving his/her well being. Please let us know of any corrections (i.e. cell phone number, new emergency contact, etc.).
For the well being of all students, children should remain at home if they are ill. Below are some general guidelines to help you decide if you should keep your child home from school:

The school has no way of providing for children who are ill except to contact the parent or emergency contact and request they be picked up and taken home. For this reason, it is critical that the school have current parent/guardian contact information file.
Please notify the school office if your child is staying home due to illness.
Medications
All medications, including aspirin, Tylenol, cough/cold medicines, etc., must be left in the office. Each medication must be in its original container and marked with the child's name, dosage, and time to be taken. Only the school nurse can give non-prescription medications to students who submit a completed Health Information Exchange Consent Form. The school nurse and Health Technician will distribute medications.
Prescription medications must be accompanied by physician's orders that include exact dosage and, as mentioned above, must be in the original container. These requirements help protect your child by ensuring administration of the correct medication and dosage. These forms are available in the nurse's office.
Student Insurance
SDUSD does not carry medical or dental insurance for students injured on school grounds, while under school jurisdiction, or while participating in school district activities. However, the district does provide access to optional accident insurance. Student insurance booklets are available in the office upon parent request.
