Overview

We have developed seven different sessions that address common health conditions within the school setting.  This information is intended to be informational only, and does not substitute for medical advice in the event of an emergency.  In the event of an emergency, please call 911 immediately. 

All students with health conditions should be managed by their own primary care providers.  However, some conditions require additional monitoring within the school setting.  These modules can be used as a reference for all school personnel.  Additional, specific instructions may be developed for individual students as needed. 

If you have any further questions regarding the posted information or concerns regarding a specific student, please contact the Health Services Department at (916) 643-9412.

For the first time in two centuries, the current generation of children in America are on trend to have shorter life expectancy than their parents. Only 4% ofAmerican children eat their recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Overconsumption of sugar and junk food have impacted health outcomes for ourstudents. Diet related diseases like Type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease are preventable when children regularly eat a healthy diet. Adopting these healthy behaviors is easier during childhood and adolescence, compared to changing unhealthy behaviors during adulthood.
