It is critical that Magnolia have up-to-date contact information for students in the event of an illness or serious injury at school. If you move or change contact information, please update your information in the Parent Portal or notify the school as soon as possible.
Students can ONLY be picked-up from school by an adult (over 18) who is on their emergency contacts in Aeries. We will NOT release students based on phone confirmation from a parent/guardian.
If a student comes to school with a communicable illness such as strep, COVID-19, lice, etc. and potentially exposes students and staff on campus, a notification of potential exposure will be sent home or emailed.
If a student needs to take medication, including over the counter medications and vitamins, at school, written physician and parent authorization, along with medication in a pharmacy labeled container is required. Authorizations must be renewed each year. All medications will be kept in the health office. Students are NOT permitted to carry any medication (including over the counter medicines and vitamins) with them at any time.
Students diagnosed with severe allergies requiring emergency medication should provide the school with a doctor’s authorization and epinephrine auto injector (Epi-pen is preferred).
Parent Notice Regarding Medication at School
In accordance with California Education Code Section 49422 and 49423 any student who is required to take medication or receive a health related procedure that is prescribed by a physician during the regular school day, may be assisted by the school nurse or other designated school personnel if the district receives the following:
- A written statement from the physician detailing the method, amount and time schedules that the medication or procedure is to be administered and a written statement from the student’s parent or guardian authorizing the school district to administer the medication or procedure. No medication, whether prescribed, over-the-counter, or approved as a self-carry, will be administered in school unless the necessary forms are completed by both physician and parent.
- Medication must be brought into the school office in the original prescription bottle labeled with the student’s name, DOB, physician’s name, name of medication, dose to be given, time to be given, and expiration date.
- All medications must be brought to the school office by an adult and reviewed with the health technician.
- All controlled medicine, like Ritalin, must be counted, verified with a health technician and recorded on a medicine log when brought to the school.
Contact your school’s health office if you have any questions. Forms for medication administration or procedures are available below and at your child’s school.
