The Health Contact Log is used to record all instances of communication by school personnel regarding a particular student and their health needs. This communication can be with the student, their guardians, or others, and could include letters or email, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings.
There are several areas within Student Information that include a Contact Log tool - Counseling, Health, PLP, Response to Intervention (RTI), Special Education, plus several states that have a localized Contact Log for certain tools. In an effort to consolidate and streamline the process of managing communication between the school and students/guardians of students, the Contact Log in Student Information General is the main hub where all contact log records can be viewed and modified by school personnel who are granted proper tool rights. The Health Contact Log functions the same as this new Contact Log.
Submit feedback for the new Contact Log by clicking the Feedback button in the bottom right hand corner. This takes you to the Campus Community Contact Log forum topic where you can add your suggestions for the Contact Log.
