Greetings Palm Cove Friends and Family,
Happy New Year! Welcome back we are nearing the 3rd quarter of the year and we are doing some amazing things to prepare our students for the big game day, FAST PM #3 coming up in May! I know our students can do it! Please see below with all the updates. Please be on the look-out for your child's STAR/FAST PM #2 report to show you how your students performed on PM #2. Feel free to reach out to your child's teacher to schedule a parent teacher conference to discuss and address any questions or concerns. Continue to communicate with your child's teacher to stay up to date with your child's progress. We are grateful for your support and we look forward to continuing to work together for the benefit of our students. Thank you for your partnership and commitment to our school and our students. "Teaming for Success!"
Also check our school's website for the most up-to-date information at www.browardschools.com/palmcove and follow us on YouTube at Palm Cove Elementary, Twitter and Instagram @TeamPalmCove for updates.

RATIONALE: Under new Fla. Stat. § 1014.06, licensed health care providers and practitioners as defined in Fla. Stat. § 456.001 may not provide, solicit, or arrange to provide health care services to children without first receiving written parental consent. Schools should note that § 1014.06 provides that violators will be subject to disciplinary action under licensing statutes, administrative fines, and potential criminal action.
The Parents’ Bill of Rights allows parents to do the following:

• Opt out of HIV/Aids education for their child.
• Opt out of any portion of the school district’s comprehensive health and sex education.
• Reject medical treatment for a child unless the state can prove the child’s own welfare would be best served by such treatment.
• Exempt a student from required immunizations.
• Create a list of people, by priority, who may consent to the medical care or treatment of a minor when a parent or legal guardian can’t be reached.
