Health Services -

There is not a school nurse on duty at our school. However, the district does have a district registered nurse and vocational nurse that provides for special needs students as well as our annual vision screening and hearing tests as required by the State of California. 

Should you need to discuss any health problems of your child, please contact the office.

San Mateo County Health Information -

Flu Vaccination Clinics- San Mateo County has published their seasonal flu vaccination clinic schedules that include the Woodside clinic. In addition to the English, Spanish, and Chinese versions, they have also added versions in Tagalog, Tongan, and Samoan that were not previously available.

Notice from the San Mateo County Office of Education
(October 2009)

The County Health System has asked that we advise you that schools need not request a physician’s note for children to return to school after an influenza-like illness.  As long as a child has been fever-free without medication for 24 hours and is well enough to participate in the school routines, he or she should be permitted to return.  If needed, schools could require a parent to send a note specifying this.

They caution that medical offices/clinics are very busy now with ill patients as well as their regular schedules, so it’s important not to add patients who do not need medical attention as this will delay treatment for those who really do need to be seen.

Just a reminder to please send this and other alerts to appropriate staff within your district.  Thank you.
