STUDENT HEALTH: Deer Canyon 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, diarrhea and  vomit-free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school. Students with Upper Respiratory Infections common symptoms are : 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.
All NEW students, Kindergarten and 1st graders are all required by state law to have on file an Oral Health Assessment and Physical/up to date immunizations for entrance to a California Public School. If you have any questions about these forms, please call the Health Technician.
