Every child will be ready to learn, having their basic needs met so that they may achieve optimal physical, emotional, social, and educational development and be prepared for full participation in society. This is the goal of the California School Nurses Association. Public schools such as Carlmont are where concerns about health care for our citizens and education for our children come together.
Many children come to school hungry and homeless, angry and abused.
Children who have not been immunized previously and who do not have a reliable history of chickenpox are considered susceptible. Check with your health-care provider for recommendations for your student. The Safety Committee, with the leadership of Linda Yule, is exploring the needs of the Carlmont community during a disaster. The emergency blankets that we were able to purchase last year were used during our recent electrical outage for the students in one classroom who are in wheelchairs and who are unable to sustain body heat as easily as the active students. One school has eliminated its government-issue cafeteria food and replaced it with gourmet, organic fare from five local restaurants that deliver to the campus every day.
