Accident Procedures
If a student becomes ill at school he/she should report to the teacher. The student will receive a note to take to the Main Office. At that time, the school Secretary may call and notify the parent.
Depending on the severity of the illness (fever, suspected contagious disease/illness, vomiting, diarrhea, undiagnosed rash, uncontrolled coughing, etc.), the parent might be instructed to pick up their child to be taken for further attention. If your child should show any of the above symptoms prior to coming to school, please keep him/her at home. Unusual illnesses will be reported to the Department of Catholic Schools.
If a student suffers an accident or head injury of any kind at school, parents will be notified. If parents cannot be reached, another person listed on the emergency card will be contacted. If additional treatment is necessary, the school will call 911. An accident report will be filed, and serious accidents will be reported to the Department of Catholic Schools.
Only minor and very basic first aid will be administered by staff to students. No secondary treatment, such as changing or removing bandages, will be administered.
