Concussions, Return to Learn and Play
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury and it is very important to seek medical evaluation if you suspect your student has sustained a concussion. If your student has been diagnosed with a concussion, it is important that you notify the school. The school nurse will follow the doctors' orders and also work collaboratively with the student, their teachers, and parents/guardians to help support and provide academic adjustments or accommodations based on the students' concussion symptoms.
Academically we will follow our return to learn protocol, this is a gradual increase in academic exertion. Students will progress or regress through the phases based on their concussion symptoms. Once the student is able to participate in a full academic day without concussion symptoms they will advance to the return to play protocol. This protocol is a gradual increase in physical activity. The return to play protocol will take at least 5 day days before a student is fully released for full physical activity participation.
