Student Concussions & Head Injuries

Students who experience a forceful impact believed to have caused a concussion, who are exhibiting signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion, will be removed from:

• athletic practices,
• competition,
• physical education class,
• recess,
• other physical activities during the school day, or
• in school-sponsored after-school activities

Students diagnosed with a concussion, or exhibiting signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion after injury will be immediately removed from these activities. The district's Return to Learn and Return to Play Protocols are based on Physician recommendations and student symptoms. Each concussion is different and is managed individually amongst the student, the parent/guardians, the school nurse/physician, and the educational team. The concussion plan is frequently monitored and updated to allow for the student to progress academically and physically as symptoms improve. The student may resume activities after medical release from the licensed physician who has treated the student.
