Attention Parents and Students: Check-Out Procedure

In the case of an illness, students are expected to come to the clinic prior to parental contact. This process is necessary to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff in our school. Should the student contact the parent without coming to the clinic, the parent will be sent to the clinic to pick up their student. The student will then be called to the clinic where an assessment will be completed prior to being dismissed with the parent. While this assessment will be done in a timely manner, the students that are already in the clinic will be seen first as it is our priority to return students to class as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation regarding this new procedure.
