The new school immunization website is now live and ready to be shared among school nurses, school personnel, parents and providers. The website, www.ShotsForSchool.org provides news, resources and information for schools, parents, and healthcare providers about school immunization requirements for childcare, K-12 and college populations.
All students entering the 7th grade are now required by California law to present documentation of having received the Tdap (pertussis) booster and two doses of the Varicella vaccination in addition to completed doses for Polio and MMR. -
- If a student becomes ill or injured at school, he/she will receive every care and consideration.
- Parents will be contacted for injuries of a serious nature, if too ill to remain at school, or has a rash of unknown origin.
- Injuries which occur at home should be cared for at home.
- The nurse is always happy to consult with parents regarding health problems.
- After an extended illness or injury, the student should follow up with the school nurse.
If your child has ONE of the following, he/she should be kept at home:
- A fever of 100 degrees or more, vomiting, or diarrhea within the last 24 hours. They must be symptom free (WITHOUT the use of medications) for 24 hours.
- If your child has been put on an antibiotic for a contagious illness, they must stay home for 24 hours after starting.
- If your child has a sore throat along with a headache or upset stomach, these symptoms may indicate strep throat.
In an emergency a parent will be contacted, so it is very important that the Health Office has up-to-date phone numbers of parents/guardians.
