Illness & Injury

If a student becomes ill, theparent/guardian will be notified and asked to pick up that child.

If a student is seriously ill or hurt, the school nurse from Banford Elementary School will be called first and then the parent/guardian will be called. If an extremee emergency arises concerning the health and safety of a child, "911" will be called first, then the school nurse, and then the parent/guardian.

Any accidents that occur to a student during the school day or during sponsored events are to be reported to the office as soon as possible. A medical log is maintained there.

If a student has a medical problem that would prevent him/her from fully participating in physical education class and recess time activities, a written statement of limiitation is required from a physician. Excuses will be accepted for medical reasons only. Notes are to be given first to the classroom teacher, who will notify the principal and all faculty involved with the student.
