If a student becomes ill at school, the following steps will be taken.

1. The parent/guardian will be contacted.  Please be sure that we have the emergency card with alternate phone numbers.
2. In case the parent/guardian cannot be contacted at the first report of illness, the student will remain in the health room until contact is made.
3. In case of serious illness, if a parent or guardian cannot be contacted, the services of a physician to give emergency treatment may not be possible, so please be sure that we can contact you at any time.
4. The school nurse and principal should be informed about students with conditions that require immediate attention (bleeders, diabetics, epileptics, etc.).
5. Current information on communicable diseases as issued by the EVSC Health Department will be observed by all schools.

If a student is injured, the following steps will be taken.

1. The parent/guardian will be notified.
2.  If the injury is serious, we must be able to contact a parent or guardian to initiate treatment.
3. The Board of School Trustees is not legally responsible for injuries of students at school or at places under school auspices and cannot pay damages or hospital or medical bills.  If the parent/guardian cannont pay, requests should be made to the proper public agency.
