Kaleida Health CLINIC

Illness during school:
The Health Office is available for students who are ill. If a student becomes suddenly ill after reporting to class, please call the clinic and let them know you are sending them to the clinic with a clinic pass. All students will sign in on the clinic log, noting time of arrival. If the student is not ill enough to be sent home, the student will send the student back to class with a signed and time-noted copy of the clinic pass. The NURSE will notify the parents and a note in the daily planner should be noted by the teacher. Under no circumstance will the clinic accept students between classes.
If the student has a fever of 100 F or higher, or is vomiting, the parents will be called and the child will be sent home.
Medications:
A student should not be carrying medications with them, on their persons, in their backpack, or locker at any time. This includes Tylenol, Motrin, and cough drops. The only exception to this rule is physician ordered inhalers, and epi-pens for allergic reactions, once the physician order is on file in the Clinic. Students whose physicians deem it necessary for the student to have medication in school must send a written order from the physician and parental permission along with the medication inn a labeled container to the Clinic, and administered as directed.
