Campus Operations Information
Photographing or Filming Students
Throughout the school year, YES Prep Public Schools organizations (yearbook students, the webpage designer,
etc.), as well as outside media representatives (newspaper, television stations, etc.) may be on campus to
videotape and/or photograph students in school-related activities or events.
By signing the signature page in the front of the handbook you are giving YES Prep permission to take your
child’s photograph and to use that photograph. Please notify the school administrator in writing to request
that your child's picture not be used for these purposes.
Student Accident Insurance
YES Prep Public Schools carries student accident insurance for all of our students. The guidelines for coverage
are:
Students with health insurance must use that insurance first.
Accidents on campus or during a school sponsored event off-campus may be covered.
This insurance will not cover any medication costs.
There is a $100 deductible that must be paid by the student’s parents.
A student must be seen by a pre-approved provider.
If you have any further questions regarding the student accident insurance, please, contact the school
administrator.
Medical Care at School
The school will contact parents or a designated relative or family friend if a student becomes ill or suffers an
injury. Be sure to list all emergency telephone numbers on your child’s enrollment information, and update
them whenever they may change.
Prescription medication can be administered at school only when advance written parental and physician
permission is on file. Only personnel designated by the school administrator may administer prescription to a
student during the school day. For additional information, please contact the school administrator or the
health coordinator.
Over-the-counter medication must be sent with a written parental consent and turned in to a school official in
the main office immediately. Any over-the counter medication found on a student will be confiscated, and
disciplinary action may follow.
Both prescription and over-the-counter medication must be sent in the original package. The name and
medication must match the student’s information. The prescription or written instructions from the student’s
physician need to be in the student’s file.
Required Immunizations
Parents must update their child’s immunizations. When enrolling your child in school, be sure to bring to the
school a signed record of your child’s current immunizations signed to enroll provisionally if the required
immunization process has begun. For more information about required immunizations see the Immunization
Fact Sheet or call Health Service at (713) 349-7423.
