School Nurse
Nurse Myla is on campus every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You may reach her directly at: [email protected]
FIRST AID
First aid is administered by the school nurse or trained school personnel for minor injuries (ie: cleaning and bandage for scrapes, small cuts, blisters, and nose bleeds). If an injury is serious or involves the head, parents will be notified and the LAUSD Precaution Regarding Head Injury notice will be sent home.
ILLNESS
If your child has a fever, please keep your child home to prevent your child from becoming sicker or spreading the illness. Before returning to school, your child should have a normal temperature for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication.
On the day of your child’s return to school, please provide a note to the teacher.
Per LAUSD policy, students returning to school following a serious or prolonged illness or surgery (five days or more) must present a written statement from the doctor indicating permission to return to school and any recommendations regarding physical activity.
MEDICATION
Trained school personnel may administer prescription medications under the following conditions:
CASTS/CRUTCHES
Per LAUSD policy, students returning to school with a cast, crutches, any assistive device, or stitches must present a written statement from the physician that includes the following:
- Permission date to return to school.
- Duration the student must use the assistive device.
- Recommendations regarding physical activities.
- Must be signed by the physician.
All students with crutches, casts, stitches, etc. will spend their recess and lunch period with a friend in the safety of the office unless the written physician's statement advises otherwise.
