In case of an emergency

Should your child become ill or involved in an accident at school, we will contact you using information from the Student Information Form. Please notify us of any change in your home address, phone number, work number, email address or changes to any other emergency contact number or contact person in case we need to reach you quickly in an emergency.
 

Administration of Medication

The school must have on file a signed authorization from parents and physician to administer medicine to children during the school day. All medicine must be in a labeled container showing the doctor’s prescription. Authorization forms are available in the school office. No over-the-counter medicines are permitted (e.g. aspirin, cough medicines, throat lozenges, and vitamins). Students are not permitted to have these on campus.
 

Information Regarding Insurance

The District does not provide any medical or dental coverage. Information regarding insurance which parents may purchase is included in the packet sent home with each student during the first week of school.
 

Disaster Preparedness Program

The Nixon disaster preparedness program includes: fire drill, earthquake drills, intruder on campus drills, a staff coordinating team to direct operations, basic supplies for a 48-hour period, outdoor containers for storage of emergency tools and supplies and much more. Parents are responsible for keeping the school emergency card updated as well as returning an emergency kit for their child. The directions for preparation of the kit will be sent home with each student the first day of school.
 

Home Prepared Dishes

In keeping in compliance with the California Health Safety Code at all schools, home-prepared foods are not allowed to be served to the students. Parents must bring in store-purchased food items for classroom events. We enforce this for the safety of all students.
 

Cellphones

The administration highly encourages that all cell phones remain at home and not be brought to school. In the event that a student needs to contact a parent for an emergency, there are phones available on school grounds before, during and after school. Additionally, the Extended Day Care program has a phone that may be used by students for emergency calls. If a cell phone must be brought to school it is to remain off during school hours. Students who are found talking, texting or using a cell phone in any way during school hours will be subject to discipline.
