In some circumstances, it may be necessary to share health information about this student with certain authorized personnel working in the school, in order to provide appropriate accommodations or health care for this student.
In case of serious illness / injury. the school will attempt to contact parents / guardian while rendering first aid. If neither the parent nor designee can be reached, the school officials are authorized to take whatever action is deemed necessary for the health of the child, including phoning 911 for transportation to the closest hospital. If your child requires a trip to the hospital, while under school supervision, we would need to share relevant health information with the providers, so that they can make the best medical care decisions for your child.
