Health Services
Our Health Services Team strives to support and improve student health, and includes a Health Clerk at each High School during school hours, and a Credentialed District Nurse who serves as the District Health Services Coordinator. Our team works to identify and remove health-related barriers to learning, so that each student can come to school ready to learn. Our Health Clerks are on site daily to address student health needs, implement student Health Care Plans, and monitor student immunization compliance. Our Credentialed District Nurse communicates with parents, students, and physicians to develop comprehensive health care plans for students with health needs, promotes health education and disease prevention, and is available as a resource to the school health offices and the entire school community.

Immunizations Children in California must meet specific immunization requirements in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools. Schools are required to enforce immunization requirements, maintain immunization records of all children enrolled, and submit reports.
