MEDICAL SERVICES INFORMATION
On June 27, 1986, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill 1541, Chapter 196, which adds Section 46010.1 to the Education Code. This law requires that the governing board of each school district shall, each academic year, notify pupils in grades 7 - 12 inclusive and the parents or guardians of all pupils enrolled in the district, that school authorities may excuse any pupil from school for the purpose of obtaining confidential medical services without the consent of the pupil’s parent or guardian.
MONEY AND VALUABLES
Students should only bring money to school for lunch or for a school approved purpose. Money should be kept in a wallet or purse. Students are not to bring valuable articles to school. The school cannot compensate them for their loss.
OFF-CAMPUS PASSES
All medical appointments are to be made during after-school hours. Please note that by taking your student out of class you will be interrupting the learning process and may inhibit your student’s understanding of the subject matter. However, if a student must be released he/she must bring in a note from their parent/guardian before school to obtain an off-campus pass from the Attendance Office. Students leaving campus prior to the end of the regular school day must sign out with Attendance Office and have an Off-Campus Pass in their possession. Students leaving campus without permission and an Off-Campus Pass will be considered truant and will be subject to disciplinary action.
PASSES
Any student who is out of class during class time must have in his/her possession a written pass with date and time excusing the student from class. Students are responsible for asking the teacher for the written pass and showing the pass upon request. (This includes all teacher assistants/business internship students.)
