In Case of an Accident Should any student or adult lose
consciousness or become unresponsive on campus or at an off campus event, our
policy is to call 911 as quickly as possible, no matter what.Any adult member of the school community
should not hesitate to call 911 under these circumstances.Should something truly life threatening or
unknown be happening, we want to have professional care for the individual as
quickly as possible.The Head of School
or Division Head should be made aware that a call has been placed.
Allergies
With the growing
number of students who experience allergic reactions to various foods and
materials, the School will notify parents on an annual basis of those items
that will be restricted from campus.If
your student has a specific need, please notify the administrative assistant in
the appropriate division.
All Students with food allergies must have a Food Allergy Action Plan on file in the Main Office.
Bloodborne
Pathogens
In order to protect
the health of students, faculty, and staff, the School has adopted the use of
universal precautions in dealing with body fluids such as blood, vomit, etc.
Encourage students
to wash their hands after using the restroom and before eating.
Encourage students
to use tissues when coughing and sniffling.
Gloves must be worn
at all times when handling body fluids such as blood, vomit, urine, etc.
When removing
gloves, carefully grasp at the top avoiding touching the skin and pull down
over the hand turning the glove inside out and place in the trash.Wash hands thoroughly after removing gloves
every time.
When a child has
been injured (cut, scraped, or fallen) and there is no visible sign of blood,
the child may be cleaned up by the supervising teacher.Encourage the child to wash their hands when
the cleanup is complete.Each faculty
member will be issued a first aid kit and is required to take it to the
playground.First aid kits are also
available in the main offices of each building, the athletic office, and the
student commons.
If professional EMS
assistance is required call 911 immediately.In all cases, a sick or injured
student should never be left alone nor moved if unconscious, dizzy, in obvious
pain or seriously injured.In these
situations, another teacher or student should be sent to the office to request
further assistance.The Head of School or Division Head should be
made aware when a 911 call has been placed.
If a student needs
immediate but not critical care on the playground, in a classroom or elsewhere,
surgical gloves will be used to handle the injured area and then a student may
be sent to the respective division office in Bldg. # 100 or Bldg. # 400 for assistance.Please notify the appropriate administrative
assistant for the school division of any blood, vomit, or other body fluid
spills on campus as soon as possible.If
for any reason an area needs immediate clean up or an additional child needs
immediate help, use your gloves and dispose of the paper towels, gloves, etc.
