Illness/Injury
An Emergency Card for each child is sent home to be completed by the parent and is kept on file in the School Office. It is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to return cards to school and keep them updated.
When a child becomes ill or meets with an accident at school, the following procedure is followed:
- The parent or guardian is contacted immediately. If the parent or guardian cannot be reached, other persons listed on the emergency card will be contacted.
- In case of a severe emergency, the paramedics or the school will transport the child to the nearest hospital or medical facility for treatment.
- If parents/guardians can be reached within a reasonable time, the parents/guardians will determine the place and means of providing emergency care.
Students, who cannot participate in P.E. or other physical activities for any period of time, must present a note from the doctor stating the reason, limitations/restrictions, and length of time needed for the excuse.
