Health Rules

Physical and Dental Health Rules

At Levon & Hasmig Tavlian Preschool, we prioritize the health and well-being of our students. To ensure a safe and healthy environment, all new and returning students must submit updated health forms annually. These include:

• Immunization Records
• Pre-Admission Health History (Parents' and Physician’s Reports)
• Parent Permission for Tylenol Administration

These documents must be completed and returned to the school before the start of each school year. Additionally, we recommend that students undergo an annual dental examination.

Per California Immunization Law (Senate Bill 277) and the Board of Regents, all children entering preschool and kindergarten must be up to date on all required immunizations. Exemptions are not accepted.

Medical Emergencies

To minimize the spread of illnesses among students, teachers, and staff, please promptly notify the school office if your child contracts a communicable disease. Communicable diseases include, but are not limited to, lice, chicken pox, flu, and colds.

Illness During School Hours:

• If a student becomes ill during the school day, the teacher will send them to the school office. Parents will be contacted at the telephone number on file to pick up their child if necessary.
• The school administration may determine that due to illness, parents must pick up their child before the end of the school day.

Unsure About Your Child’s Health:

• If you are unsure whether your child is sick, we urge you to contact a medical professional.
• The school reserves the right to request a physician’s note from a licensed medical professional regarding your child's health status and confirmation that the child may safely return to school after experiencing a communicable disease.

Policies and Procedures:

• To prevent exposure to other children, sick children must not return to school until they are no longer contagious to prevent exposure to other children. A physician's note is requested before your child is permitted to return to school.
• If your child arrives at school with symptoms of illness or a toothache, you will be contacted immediately.
• If we are unable to reach you or you cannot pick up your child, we will contact the persons listed on the emergency contact list.
• If your child contracts a contagious illness, please notify the school immediately.
• Please do not send any medication to school with your child. The staff is not authorized to administer medication to children.

We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all our students.
