Clinic Procedures:
Except in the case of emergency, students may visit the clinic only after obtaining a clinic pass from their teacher. Students need to come to the clinic if feeling ill. If they contact their parent to be picked up or make previous arrangements, the Nurse cannot excuse their absence. Please be aware that if your child has multiple absences from school and is not showing signs of a communicable illness, their illness may not be excused by the Nurse.

Clinic Rules:

1. Students must have a pass- It is important that teachers know where they are and they won't be marked unexcused from class.
2. The clinic is a NO Cell Phone zone. This includes texting. They may use their phones to call their parent if given permission by the nurse.
3. If they are in the clinic to rest, we ask that they turn off their music, phones, and we discourage socializing with their peers so they and others may rest.

Notes from the Clinic:

6th grade parents please note the following shot requirements before entering 7th grade. Documentation can be submitted to the clinic during the school year. Remember to keep a copy for your records.

• Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap): Tdap is required for all students entering 7th grade if at least 5 years have lapsed since the last dose of a tetanus containing vaccine (DTap, DPT, DT). If 5 years have not elapsed since the last dose of a tetanus containing vaccine at entry into 7th grade, then this dose will become due as soon as the 5-year interval has passed.
• Meningococcal Vaccine: 1 dose of quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine is required on or after the student's 11th birthday.
• Varicella vaccine (chickenpox): Two doses are required with the first on or after the first birthday, and the second dose prior to entry in the 7th grade, unless a parent or physician statement of disease is on file.
