Students who become ill or are injured at school will be given first aid. Whenever possible, parents will be notified by phone and instructions will be requested as to the disposal of the case. When the parent has no telephone or cannot be reached, the ill or injured child shall be transported home, to the hospital, or to the doctor's office by a member of the school staff as deemed necessary. A student accident report should be completed and submitted to the District office as soon as possible after the injury.
In cases of emergency, the pupil shall be transported to a hospital or a doctor's office by ambulance or other available types of transportation. If possible, the family physician listed on the office records shall be contacted.
