promote healthy sleeping patterns. Students who have been in the Health Center during the day or who have been home ill during the academic day may not participate in afternoon activities, evening activities and/or weekend activities, as determined by Health Center staff. Students who are ill longer than 24 hours may be sent home or to a sponsor’s home until well. Day Students. Day students who are ill should remain at home. It is vital to the health of our community that students who are ill do not attend class. All students must be cleared by the Health Center before returning to school. Contact the attendance coordinator at (909) 447-7078 to report a school absence. Absences must be reported daily. Day students who become ill during the school day should report to the Health Center for release. Parents will be contacted by Health Center staff. Interscholastic/Intramural Sports Excuses. Students are encouraged to

participate in all activities unless ill. Students who miss more than two academic periods may not participate in afternoon activities, sports or practices and will be encouraged to rest during this time. Injuries and Afternoon Activities. Students who cannot play sports

for health reasons are placed on the “No Play List.” If your child has sustained an injury and cannot attend afternoon activities, please contact the Health Center. We request health care provider notes regarding injuries and for clearance to return to play. Students remain a part of the team and are expected to attend afternoon activities, unless the injury is prohibitive. The Health Center can assist students with rides on campus due to injuries if needed. Concussions. While infrequent, concussions can occur. Please contact the Health Center for assistance should your child sustain a concussion. The Webb Schools works with a medical provider who is an expert on concussion support. All students who sustain a concussion must have a medical clearance written by a health care provider to return to sports and the academic school day. The Health Center works in association with the schools’ athletic trainer to monitor and ensure the student can progress to a return-to-play state following a concussion. Medical Pass. A medical pass will be issued to boarding students by the Health Center in the event of an illness or emergency that requires the student to be off campus overnight. Students are expected to place the medical pass on their dorm room door when they leave. When they return to campus, students are to check in with the Health Center and return the pass to the Health Center. If the student returns when the Health Center is closed, they must check in with security and the administrator on duty. The student must also contact the Health Center’s after-hours line and leave a message indicating they have returned to campus. Medical passes are not issued for non-health related reasons. More extensive health leaves will be coordinated by the Health Center director and/or the director of counseling and health education.

Medical Appointments.

Boarding Students. Please work with the Health Center staff when scheduling medical appointments to ensure transportation services are available. Transportation assistance may not be available when parents schedule appointments independently. Medical transportation services are provided for a fee and are billed to the student account. Routine medical transportation services are only available Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and are not available on the weekends. Transportation services are only for local contacts within the surrounding area of Claremont or a 15-mile radius. Missed medical appointments may be subjected to collection of a driving fee. Day Students. Parents must call the Health Center if a student is going to be absent for a medical appointment during the school day. Parents should make arrangements for routine medical, dental, or other health appointments during the weekends or on school vacations to limit academic interruptions. The Health Center does not provide transportation services for day students for non-emergency medical reasons. Medication. Students should not bring any medication to school or have it in their rooms. This includes both prescription and nonprescription medication, including Tylenol, Advil, vitamins, dietary supplements or cold remedies. Students requesting to use protein powder supplements should refer to the policy on the “Usage of Fitness Dietary Supplements” located in the Magnus Health portal. Selected medications approved by the Health Center may be allowed to be housed in student rooms for self-administration. These medications can include inhalers, Epi Pens, topical acne preparations and allergy medications. The Health Center cannot dispense any medication from outside of the U.S., nor can we accept homeopathic or alternative medications without a U.S. based provider’s medication authorization form. All medication must be labeled in English and prescribed by a U.S. provider. Medication must come in the original bottle, with clear instructions that match the authorization as prescribed. We will refer any student to a local provider for medication or medical management of a health
