Student Health

We are updating our student and school-wide health information as we receive it from the district.

Please make sure your information is up-to-date so you receive the latest communications regarding school start for 2021-2022.

These resources were shared during 2020-2021 but still reflect important information regarding COVID-19.

Student Data Cards

When your child is registered, and at the beginning of every year, you are asked to fill out a data card that is filed in the school office and a card giving or refusing your permission to administer OTC meds. It is absolutely essential that the information on that card is kept up-to-date with current information. This information includes:

1. Home and business phone numbers.
2. An emergency contact phone number (this should be someone who has permission to pick up and care for your child when you cannot).
3. The name, address, and phone number of your child's doctor.

Please notify the school office of any change of address or phone number. This is of great importance should it be necessary to contact you concerning your child, especially in an emergency situation.

Medications

All medications, including aspirin, Tylenol, cough/cold medicines, etc., must be left in the office. Each medication, whether prescription or nonprescription, must be in its original container and marked with the child's name, a doctor's dosage instructions, and time to be taken. Only the school nurse can give nonprescription medications to students who submit a completed Health Information Exchange Consent Form. In addition, a doctor's note The school nurse will be on site on Monday through Thursday. Office staff will distribute medications on Fridays.

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.

Required Immunizations

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.
