Health Room

Staffed by our school’s Health Technician, the Health Room provides limited interim care for our students in the case of injury or illness occurring during school hours. If your child visits the Health Room with injury or illness during the school day, a parent will be phoned.

Contact:

The Health Room is open Monday - Friday, 7:55 am - 2:45 pm. Health Technician - Mrs. Mary Keegan at (714) 846-2472 x148 or mkeegan@stbonaventureschool.org.

Contact the Health Technician when:

  • Your physician diagnoses your child with any contagious disease

  • Your child will be absent from school for any reason

If phoned by the Health Room, please come to the school immediately.

Please note that no one under the age of 18 may pick up a child unless they are noted on the emergency card and a written letter granting permission is on file with the school. In the case of serious illness or injury when parents cannot be reached, the Administration will call paramedics.

Illness

All absences need to be reported to attendance@stbonaventureschool.org or complete the Attendance Google Form.

If your child falls ill, please keep them home until they are fully recovered. If your child has a fever, please keep them home until fever-free for 24 hours without medication. A doctor’s note is recommended after absence of 3 consecutive school days.

Any child suffering from a communicable disease must adhere to County Health Regulations before returning to school.

Doctor Appointments

Doctor and dental appointments should be scheduled after school. If these appointments must be made during school time, students should bring a note from the doctor's office, allowing them to be legally excused for medical reasons.

Immunizations

California State Law requires adequate immunization protection against certain diseases. Please click here to view required immunization records. Students may not enter school until the required evidence of immunization is presented.

Required evidence of immunization is a written record indicating your child’s name, date of birth, date of each immunization procedure, type of antigen used, and the name of the administering physician or agency.

Medications

If your child takes or may need to take prescription medication during school hours, please bring their medication to the Health Room in its original container(s) with details regarding the amount, method, and time schedule for which medications are to be administered. A consent form must be signed by your child’s physician.

Students are expected to be capable of self-administering their own medication under the supervision of school personnel. No medication may be kept in classrooms unless permission has been obtained from the Administration.
