Health services mandated by the state include: Vision Screening in Kindergarten or 1st, 3rd, and 6th grades.  Hearing screening in Kindergarten, or 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 8th grades.  Scoliosis screening is done for 7th grade girls and 8th grade boys.  Maturational health education is offered to 4th grade girls (with parental permission only) and again for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls and boys.  Other health education topics such as hand washing, dental health, and first aid are offered when time permits.  Additional services such as Jules Stein eye clinic (offered to 1st graders) and dental screenings may also be available for grade K-5 students.  Periodic screening for head lice is done with spot checks as needed.  First aid is given as needed for incidents that happen at school.  If students are ill or have an accident, they are immediately reported to the teacher on duty or to the office.  They need to send someone else if they are unable to go to the teacher or office themselves.  They will be cared for at school until someone on their emergency card is able to pick them up.  They may not leave school without permission.

Cafeteria services are available for students in need of purchasing lunch.  Sack lunches may also be brought from home.  A child who is to leave school daily for lunch must have a note on file in the school office from the parent giving them permission to do so and what means of transportation will be provided.  The Wiseburn School District believes in healthy choices and encourages families to consider nutritional guidelines when packing their children's lunch.  Please avoid sending soda and unhealthful foods.  Please do not drop student lunches at the school office unless it is an emergency situation; this creates a burden on our staff and causes a disruption to the classroom.  See cafeteria fees and program.

A child who is to leave school daily for lunch must have a note on file in the office from the parent giving them permission.  If you want your child to eat at home on a particular day, please send a note with him/her on that day.  Please have your child's lunch box/sack labeled with name and room number to avoid mix-ups at lunchtime.  It is the responsibility of the parent and child, prior to the start of the day, to make sure that the child has either a cold lunch or a lunch ticket each day.  It is the child's responsibility to order school lunches in the classroom.  Please encourage your child to listen carefully to the lunch count every morning.

Lunch tickets may be purchased Tuesday mornings and have no expiration date.  Current lunch prices are $2.50 ($12.50 per week or $50.00 for four weeks), and 40¢ for reduced price lunches ($2.00 per week).  Milk is included in the price.  ALL money and/or checks are to be brought to school in a sealed envelope with the student's name and room number written on the envelope.  Teachers will not pay for lunches when money is forgotten.
 
Students are encouraged to purchase prepaid lunch tickets in blocks of 5 (5, 10, 15, etc) on Tuesday mornings.  Students who wish to purchase lunch on a daily basis may do so at the school office at the beginning of the day.  Any payment by check should be made payable to the Wiseburn School District with the student's name on the check.  All returned checks are subject to a $5.00 service charge.

Milk Money will be collected on Tuesday only.  The cost of the milk is $1.00 per week.  Milk will be given starting on the following Monday.  Low fat milk is included with the hot lunch program and, therefore, milk should be purchased separately only if lunches are not purchased.

Your Child's safety and well-being continue to be a first priority at Peter Burnett School.  Because we care, we have a well-defined emergency drill plan in place.  This plan is designed to minimize confusion that may accompany an emergency.  Each member of our staff has been instructed on measures necessary to cope with a disaster.  Each school has regular drills throughout the year to acquaint both staff and students with these procedures.
 
Important aspects of this plan are parental support and instructions.  Should an actual emergency occur, our plan now instructs parents to report directly to the 4/5th grade gate closest to the office to pick up children.  Children will be released only to those names appearing on the registration form.  This is why we ask you to keep us informed of any changes that occur and to keep the registration from current.
