The Health Office staff at Magnolia High School is here to advocate for health.
We believe healthy students learn better and we can often assist with accessing health care.
About Us
Magnolia High School is staffed with a Health Technician, trained in first aid and CPR, who is on campus from 7:30 am – 4:00 pm daily. The primary role of the Health Technician is to provide basic first aid for unexpected injuries, to assist with medications when it is determined they must be given at school; and to maintain health records on all students enrolled. The School Nurse oversees health services at several school sites in the AUHSD and can be reached by cell phone during school hours.
Health Office Visits
Except in the case of an emergency, all students must have a pass from their teacher to visit the Health Office. Walk-in's during the passing period will be returned to class for a pass.
Communication with the Attendance and Health Office is important. No student will be allowed to leave with another person (even a relative) unless that person is listed as an emergency contact if the parent/guardian cannot be reached first. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to keep their emergency contact information current.
Drugs and Alcohol
We intend to make Magnolia High School a safe place for everyone. Our policies are those of the Anaheim Union High School District as set forth by the Board of Trustees. We will enforce the rules and laws regarding drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Drugs include alcohol, marijuana, other controlled substances (As well as over the counter medication), and edibles. It also includes pipes, bongs, or any other paraphernalia. Students in possession of drugs or alcohol, regardless of how they were acquired, will be suspended for 5 days, arrested and will be recommended for transfer to another school or expulsion. Students that give or sell drugs, in any amount, will be suspended for 5 days, arrested, and recommended for expulsion. Students that are under the influence of drugs or alcohol at school or any school event will be suspended for 5 days, arrested and will be transferred to another school or recommended for expulsion. Students should be reminded that possession of drugs/alcohol on the way to or from school or at any school-sponsored event shall be treated the same as possession on campus. Students who are under a Doctor's care and require prescription medication throughout the day, or to participate in school events like games, and field trips must have their guardians, and doctors complete the appropriate request for medication forms two weeks before the event is scheduled. All medicine brought in to school by accident should be turned into the school's health clerk. The school health clerk will secure and dispense all medication per doctor's orders or will call guardians for pickup of unauthorized brought in medications.
Medications
All medications and/or forms should be taken directly to the Health Office located in the Main Office. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach Dora Velasquez, the Health Technician, at 714-220-4240. By law, the school staff cannot administer or distribute any medication to students or staff members, including over-the-counter medication. Our Health Technician is to follow doctor's orders when administering medications. If parents need assistance with this process, we can help, please ask.
