Clinic Absence Reporting

Room 109
962-8050
8am - 3:15pm

If a student becomes ill or is injured during the school day, s/he will report to the clinic. If the child is unable to remain at school, parents will be notified. If they cannot be reached, the health aide will contact the people listed on the child's emergency contact form. The clinic cannot treat serious injuries or illnesses: they will apply ice as needed and keep your child comfortable as possible until you arrive. The health aides will also contact you if they feel your child is visiting the clinic on an unusually frequent basis.

When the child is home due to an illness, we expect that an adult will be supervising the child (Wisconsin State Statue 948.21). Our school social worker will contact the parent or guardian of a child who is being left unsupervised at home when there is reason to believe the State Statue has been violated.

Except for unusual circumstances, we expect that when students return from an absence, they will be able to participate in all class activities including gym, recess, and other outdoor activities.
 
Please notify the clinic of the following: any specific health conditions or allergies, any communicable diseases such as chicken pox, or any immunizations received by your child throughout the year.
 
Medications may be delivered to school by an adult or a parent may call the school clinic on the day that the student will bring the medication to the clinic. No medication is given to a student without completion of the medication permission form by a parent/guardian. The medication must be in a container with the current pharmacy label on it. Medication forms can be obtained from the clinic or through a link on the wfbschools.com website; information needed on these forms includes prescription number, name of medication, strength of medication, amount of pills left at the clinic and the dosage/frequency of the medication.
