Accidents and Injuries

• Scrapes and scratches, or any injury that can be treated with ice and cleaning with soap and water and a band-aid will be dealt with at the school.
• In the case of sprains, severe cuts, or contusions, home will be notified immediately to decide what actions should be taken.
• In the case of open and or heavily bleeding wounds, broken bones, unconsciousness, etc. the school will call an ambulance and parents immediately. 

Allergies

Several students have a potentially life-threatening allergy to peanuts. If peanut butter, peanut, a peanut product such as peanut oil enters the body of these children through the eyes, nose or mouth, the student experiences very strong reactions. Without immediate medical treatment the student could die.

All of our school staff, including lunch program staff, have been made aware of this situation and have been instructed in the correct administration of an Epipen. Prevention, of course, is the best approach for reducing the risk of a severe reaction. We will be discussing the situation with the other students in the classrooms and asking them not to share snacks, treats or lunches with any other students. Please remind your child not to share treats or lunch items with other students.
