ACCIDENT PROCEDURES
If an accident occurs and a student is injured, the first step taken will be to determine if the person needs immediate medical attention. The steps following will depend on how serious the injury is or it appears to be: Is it life threatening (very serious) or non-life threatening (less serious or minor)?
When the Injury is Not Life Threatening
School staff will administer minor first aid and then make the student comfortable. An incident report will be completed and a copy will be sent home with the student.
Parents will be contacted immediately if the injury is more severe, this includes any head trauma.
When the Injury is Life Threatening
First, 911 will be called. Then parents will be contacted; in the event that the parent cannot be reached, the emergency contacts listed on the Emergency Card will be contacted. An incident report will be completed and a copy will be given to the parent/guardian.
