Clinic Rules

  • Whenever a student becomes ill while at school, he/she should report this to his/her teacher immediately and ask that his/her agenda book be signed by the teacher as their pass to the clinic. Students without a pass will be sent back to class.
  • If the student is ill enough to be sent home, the clinic aide will contact the person(s) named on the emergency card.
  • Students are never permitted to use their cell phones for calls regarding illness or pickup. In addition, students may not use classroom phones if they are ill, they must call from the clinic. Failure to follow this procedure will result in disciplinary action. The Sarasota Health Department requires all illnesses be recorded by the clinic aide.
  • If the student comes to school and is identified as having a fever, the parent/guardian will be called to pick them up immediately.
