Please review these important guidelines regarding our school health procedures and injury policies. These guidelines help keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
🩹 Student Injuries & Physical Activity Restrictions
Notify the Nurse: Parents must report any physical limitations to the school nurse.
Doctor's Note for PE: Required if a student misses PE for more than one week. The note must include the exact restriction and its duration.
Morning Check-In: Any student coming to school with stitches, cast, sling, ace wrap, hard splint, air boot, or crutches must check in with the nurse before the first class.
🌳 PE and Recess Guidelines During Healing
Active Play Restrictions: Students with documented head injuries, stitches, or protective coverings (casts, splints, air boots) cannot participate in PE or active recess.
Quiet Recess Option: With the nurse's permission, students can participate in "quiet outdoor recess" (sitting outside at a designated area to read, play board games, or do puzzles with friends).
Indoor Recess: If a student cannot stay safely in the quiet area, the principal and nurse will arrange for them to stay indoors.
✅ Returning to Full Activities
Once fully healed and coverings are removed, a doctor's note must be submitted stating that the student may participate in all activities without restrictions.
Walkers will be dismissed from door #18 at 3:00pm.
