When a pupil becomes ill or is injured at school, parents are notified. If they cannot be reached and the situation requires attention beyond our resources, the family physician is contacted for instruction. If the parents have named no physician, it may be necessary to send the pupil to a hospital emergency service for needed care until the parents can be reached. Parents should supply the school with information concerning special health problems, as well as how they may be reached and the family physician's name and phone number. The name of a friend or relative who might be contacted when we are not able to reach the parents has proven very helpful.
Parents are responsible for emergency care costs.
Please inform the school of work or home phones number changes. The Silverlake Elementary PTA asks each parent to join and support the local unit. Membership applications will be sent home to parents by October. All adults who work directly with children have to be screened and cleared of any criminal history. This includes parents planning to accompany their child on school field trips.
