Illness

If your child is ill, please keep them at home until they are well enough to participate in all school activities. If your child becomes ill during the school day, we will contact you and you will be expected to arrange for your child to be picked up as soon as possible.

Accidents & Injuries

In the event of an accident, several courses of action may be taken depending upon the seriousness of the incident.

• 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. 
• Accident insurance is provided upon request and forms are sent home in September.

Allergies | Nut-Aware School

We believe separating children with food allergies instills a false sense of safety for the child, parents and supervisors alike. The varieties of food choices available make it impossible for specific foods to be eliminated or controlled in our lunchroom setting. 

Students, taking into account their individual abilities, are responsible for developing skills at managing their personal allergy awareness. This is often accomplished by simply not sharing food with others and asking, “Does this contain _______?”

Staff are responsible for being aware of allergy information provided to the school by parents. Staff will make reasonable accommodations for students with allergies. The school does not ban particular foods from the school. If you have specific questions about our allergy procedures please contact your child’s teacher for classroom questions and the main office for lunchroom or school-wide concerns.

Our student health form asks parents if their children have any health concerns (such as exercise or spring induced asthma) or food allergies that we need to be made aware of. Special Allergy/Concern lists are compiled and every supervisor has access to these lists at all times. We make special note of those particular medications supplied by the parent. Any conditions related to outdoor activities should also be reported (i.e. grass, bee sting allergies). When required, separate forms for administering medication will be sent home.

Medication

Parents or guardians requesting school assistance with their child’s medical needs are required to complete the following forms.

Student Health Emergency Response Protocol Form

• This form is to be used when there is a student health issue requiring attention. This includes when there is a request to administer medication. 

Student Health Plan

This form is to be:

• completed if a physical or medical condition may affect the student’s attendance at school
• completed if medication is to be taken at school
• reviewed and updated annually or sooner if there is a change in the student’s health concern or school registration.

Public Health Nurse

A Public Health Nurse is assigned to the school to assist in meeting the health needs of students and families in the community. If you would like to contact the Public Health Nurse, you may leave a message at the school or at 403-943-9100.
