STUDENT HEALTH: Turtleback has a Health Attendant to take care of first aid and emergencies. In case of student illness at school, the health attendant will notify parents or the emergency contact listed on the enrollment form. No registered nursing services are provided at the school on a daily basis.

KEEPING EVERYONE HEALTHY:  Please remember that PUSD Guidelines state that your child must be fever- and vomit-free for 24 hours before returning to school.  Students with Upper Respiratory Infections common symptoms: persistent nasal discharge that is purulent or discolored, productive cough, excessive coughing or appears to be too ill or uncomfortable to adequately function in classroom setting should stay home until no symptoms for 24 hours or a written medical release is obtained.

MEDICATION: Students who are required to take any medication during school hours may be assisted by school personnel if the school receives a Medication Authorization form filled out by the physician and the parent detailing the instructions for administering the medication.  This form may be picked up at the school office.  For safety reasons, only adults may bring medication to school.  Please do not send it to school with your child.

Sunscreen, cough drops, lip balm and Vaseline, etc, must have a note from the parent on file and will also be monitored by the school personnel.
