Returning to School after a Mental Health Concern or Absence

Students who experience a mental health issue such as: threat or action to constitute self-harm or harm to others, behavior that impacts day to day school functions resulting from a mental health condition, or other mental health concern that may impact a student’s ability to navigate the school setting must have written documentation from the attending doctor stating the student is clear to return to school. Furthermore, documentation must state the student is not considered a threat to his or herself or others. Parents should also notify the clinic of any medication or health history changes.
