Sports/Gym Injuries

In the unfortunate event your child suffers an injury during a sport, while in gym, or at home, please review the following school policy:

All students must report any injury to their gym teacher or coach as soon as it occurs. The injury will be immediately evaluated by the nurse during school hours or by the trainer during sports. All parents/guardians will be notified at the time of injury.

If your child's injury warrants further evaluation from the emergency room or a private MD, go immediately according to the severity. After evaluation, please have the physician or practitioner in charge write a note that states what the injury is and what limitations your child may have regarding gym or sports. If any assistive devices are needed by your child during the school day, please have this indicated on their note as well.  

Please don't allow a physician/emergency room to discharge your child without a note.  A verbal instruction of activity by the MD is not legal and will not be acceptable for gym or sports.

Upon return to school, students must report directly to the health office. A medical note from the treating provider must be presented to the nurse at this time. Your child will then proceed to their classes. 

If your child's injury restricts their participation in gym or sports, their physical education teacher and coach will be notified. 

The health and safety of your child is of the utmost importance.

 Thank you so much for your cooperation.
