 As you know, Country Lane staff and students work diligently to strengthen our safety procedures.  Each month staff and students practice drills which enable us to be prepared for actual emergencies.  We work closely with the district to improve our procedures for all types of drills: fire, earthquake, shelter-in-place, and lockdown.  In the interest of being fully prepared for an emergency, the school's administration may not notify studetns and staff of the exact day and time that a drill will occur.  Drills may occur during class time, recess, or lunch time.  We encourage you to talk about these drills with your students.  Please read our Safety Letter for Parents for more information.

 

 

Volunteers with frequent and prolonged student contact are required to be assessed for TB risk. A TB test is only required when TB risk factors are identified by a licensed health care provider.

 

If NO risk factors are identified during the risk assessment by the healthcare provider, the screening is complete.  No TB test is required and the Certificate of Completion is issued by the healthcare provider and given to the school.  Forms are available in the office for your convenience.  Each certificate lasts for 4 years and then the process is repeated. If you already have a TB test/risk assessment on file, no action is required until the 4 year expiration date. 

 

Please see the office to turn in your Certificate of Completion or if you have any questions about your TB test/risk assessment status.
