Medications at School - Health/Allergy Updates Needed
By law, medication of any kind cannot be administered at school (including asthma inhalers, Tylenol, cough syrup, or epi-pens) unless a medication form has been completed and signed by the parent and the child's doctor. These forms must be submitted every year and must be on file before the student can return to school. This is for the safety of your child and we must have documents on file before each student arrives on campus.
If your child has any health conditions that require medication please fill out a Medication Authorization Form and return it to our Health Clerk, Maura Keenan, in the Price Office. You can scan it and email to her at : keenanm@cambrainsd.com.
If your child has an allergy, asthma or other medical condition of concern we will also need the appropriate Emergency Care Plan listed below filled out and signed by your child's doctor. These forms are available through the Cambrian website and attached through the links below:
Emergency Care Plans:
*Please be sure to contact our Health Clerk regarding all allergies or health concerns so our office is updated with your child's most current information. 408-377-2532

Cambrian Students Need Your Support
Due to chronic state underfunding, declining enrollment, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cambrian School District is facing a budget deficit. Since early 2019, the District has been assessing potential district-owned land development opportunities to create additional on-going, annual revenue to sustain our award-winning programs.
You can help PROTECT STUDENT PROGRAMS by supporting the "Support Our Students" land development initiative. Thirty seconds of your time can help generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in ongoing, annual revenue without increasing taxes in the community. Click here to sign a letter of support and to learn more.
Have a question? Please contact former Cambrian School District parent, Eve Walton, at SOSCambrianSchoolDistrict@gmail.com.
