The Alhambra Preschool Programs offer classrooms at 7 different school sites. Each of these school sites is staffed with a full time health assistant wh promotes health and wellness and breaks down health related barriers to support the education of the whole child. We do have a full time health assistant in the Alhambra Preschool Academy who works closely with the school site's health assitants. 

Below are some reminders: 

• Keep Child's Immunizations Up to Date
• Complete and Update Emergency Cards
• Children Should be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school
• Please see below for information on our "Lice Policy" 

Pediculosis (Lice) 

Pediculosis is defined as live lice or viable nits. The symptoms of lice, infestation are itching and/or the presence of lice and nits on hairy parts of the body, particulary on the head and neck. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) states that students diagnosed with live head lice be treated and return to class after appropriate treatment has begun. Nits may persist after treatment but successful treatement shoudl kills crawling lice. 

Students with pediculosis shall be excluded from school until treatment has been initiated in accordance with recommendations from the CDC. Students may return with non-viable nits more than one-fourth (1/4) inch from the scalp.
