Parent/Student/Nurse Communication
- If your child has may health concerns you wish to discuss you may contact me by phone or come see me in the clinic.
- I will safeguard the privacy of students and their family’s personal health information.
- I will call parent/guardian when their child is sick and needs to come home.
- Most students are able to report visits to the clinic, but I will inform parent/guardian of illness/accidents of concern with a note or phone call.
- I tell students, “What you tell me I will keep in confidence unless I feel it is necessary to share it with someone to protect you or others.”
