The parent/guardian of a student on continuing medication must inform the principal or other designated certificated personnel of the medication being taken, including the dosage, and the name of the supervising physician. 

For district staff to assist with a student's medication school personnel must receive a written statement form the physician detailing the method, amount and time schedules by which the medication is to be taken, and a written statement from the parent/guardian indicating that they desire the school district to assist their child in the matter set forth by the physician. (E.C. 49423) 

With the consent of the parent/guardian, the school may communicate with the physician who may counsel the school personnel regarding possible side effects of the drug. This may include effects on the student's physical, intellectuals and social behavior as well as adverse effects which may indicate overdose, toxicity, or omission. (E.C. 5141.21)

Parents, if your child is sick please keep them at home until they are feeling better. Students who have a fever, are throwing up, or have diarrhea should stay home.

Make sure that the attendance office is notified of your child's absence, and/or please have your child bring the attendance office an excuse note from home.
