Special Provisions/Procedures for Illness/Accidents

The Extended Care Program does not have facilities to provide care for sick children or transportation for children. Parents/Guardians will be expected to make arrangements for keeping or taking sick children home. In the case of minor injuries, first aid will be administered on the premises. Medication will not be administered unless both a written statement from a physician detailing method, amount, and time schedule, along with a written authorization from parents/guardians is on file with the Extended Care staff.

In some cases, emergency medical care may be necessary.  Steps to obtain this care may include but are not limited to the following:

                        •     Attempt to contact a parent/guardian directly.

                        •     Attempt to contact a parent/guardian through persons listed on emergency form.

                        •     If parent/guardian cannot be reached directly an ambulance will be called with a staff member accompanying the child to the hospital, if that is deemed necessary.

                        •     The staff will act in the best judgment for the welfare of the child.
