Is your child not feeling well?  
 Sick Child

  

If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.

If your child's temperature is 99.6 degrees or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature. Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious.   
 
A child must be fever free (no fever) and not vomiting, WITHOUT any medications  (Acetaminophen/ Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Motrin) in their system for at least 24 hours before they can return to school.

If your child suddenly comes down with the following symptoms:  fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, cough, fatigue, rash, nausea or vomiting - we encourage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.
 
Do not forget to let your school secretary know that your child will not be in school. If you would like to pick up any homework after school, please let the secretary know at that time.

Flu shots are now available at your local physician's office.  

           
 
YOUR CHILD AND MEDICINE

Students are not allowed to "self-medicate" themselves while at school.  All meds must go to the school office and must have a Medication Form filled out in full (see below).

Prescription medications will ONLY be given with written permission from the prescribing physician or with the prescription label on the medication container.  WRITTEN permission is needed from parent/guardian for OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS.  You may wish to ask your doctor to order medication divided into 2 bottles, each with a prescription label, so that you can keep one at school and one at home.

Please fill out a "Medication Form" for each and every medicine that is to be given to you child. Click here to download this form    

Medication that needs to be stored in the refrigerator will be stored in the school office refrigerator.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school secretary by phone at (510) 278-2598 or e-mail schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org

"So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. 
Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings 
so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. 
Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: 
bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, 
getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God." 

 Bible and Glasses
    
Please continue to keep our Pastor, Superintendent, teachers, students, parents 
and volunteers in your prayers throughout the school year.
