A student returning to school with sutures (stitches, staples), ace bandage (elastic bandage), casts, splints, crutches, cane, walker, or a wheelchair must have a licensed California health care provider’s written permission to attend school that includes any recommendations and/or restrictions related to physical activity, mobility, and safety.
The following form must be returned to the nurses’ office (with your Physician’s signature) when your child returns to school:
A student returning to school following a serious or Prolonged illness, injury, surgery, or other hospitalization (including psychiatric and drug or alcohol inpatient treatment), must have written permission by the health care provider to attend school, including any recommendations regarding physical activity.
Students are allowed to wear protective gear (hats, sun visors and/or sunglasses) while outdoors at recess, gym, etc. Schools may regulate the type of sun protective clothing/headgear in accordance with California Education Code Section 35183.5. Schools are not required to provide protective materials. Students are also allowed to use sunscreen (over the counter) as an allowable sun protection measure for their outdoor activities while at school.
Students may be assisted with medications or can self-carry their own medication such as an asthma inhaler if there is written authorization from the health care provider and parent/guardian. Two forms are available for this: one is for “Self-Administration” and the other is for medication to be stored in the Nurse’s Office. All oral medications (such as tablets or pills) must be stored in the Main Office. It is important that we are aware of every student who requires medication and that the proper documents are on file with us. This is required at the beginning of every school year. We want to keep your child safe. If you have any questions, please contact either Main Office. Del Rey: (310) 827-5511 WC: (310) 348-9050.
