The
Health Center maintains a continuously updated electronic posting of student
health status known as the Daily Report.
It is available for viewing only by faculty, coaches, and staff on the password-protected faculty and staff portal on the School's website. The purpose of this report is
to inform faculty and coaches of students who are excused from or have
alterations in their required participation with any campus commitment (class,
sports, dorm check-in, etc.) due to health reasons. This report takes into consideration illness
requiring observation in the Health Center; students at home with a medical
excuse; students away from campus for health appointments; and students with
limited sports participation due to illness or injury, etc. In order to protect the student’s privacy and
right to confidential care, specific information about a student’s health issue
is NOT posted on this list. In general, students are placed on this list and
removed from this list after direct communication with the health center staff or the athletic trainers. Students are always
directly informed of their status and are required to abide by the rules
accompanying their status as outlined below.

designates a student who is at home due to
illness or a need for a health-related appointment outside the local area. Parents who retain a student at home due to
illness or appointment are required to directly notify the Health Center by email
or phone in advance, or as soon as known. When the student returns to campus
after being at home for health matters, the he/she is required to notify or
check in at the Health Center, and he/she may be required to submit documentation of
medical care to the Health Center.

Infirmary. The student remains on this
list until departure from the Health Center.

health-related appointment off campus in the local community. The student will be returning to campus on
the same day but is excused from any commitments while away at the appointment;

staff or athletic training staff.
Sports as Tolerated
