*Students arrive for appointments (KLA staff – phone numbers taped to printer in clinic – chauffeurs the students to and from KLA, so call to coordinate if needed; there are also cab vouchers in an envelope wrapped in a plastic bag in one of the kitchen cupboards if staff are unable to pick up a student from clinic in a reasonable amount of time)
**Nurse/provider confirms consent is on file for each student or parent is contacted by phone to provide verbal consent for the day.

**Remember that every student must complete a PHQ-9, which must be entered into RAVEN.
