Illness at School
If your child should become seriously ill or is hurt while at school, the Principal/Vice-Principal or their designate will make every effort to contact you to advise you of this situation. To assist the school, it is important that we have an emergency phone number and a completed Registration Form on file. The Registration Form will be sent home the first week of school for your completion or update. Please fill in the necessary information and return it to the school as soon as possible. Continue to inform the school of any changes in this information during the school year.
Administration of Medication
Medication is administered by the school only when directed by a doctor and when a "Request for Administration of Medication" form has been submitted to the office and signed by the parent/guardian. Prescription medicines will be stored in the office to be administered by the Principal, Vice-Principal, secretary, or designate.
Allergy Aware School
Quite a number of students and staff in our care suffer from allergies; but a few have the potential of life threatening reactions to allergens, or fatal allergies. In order to provide a safe learning environment for all, we ask parents to adhere to the following guidelines:
Parents of Children with Potentially Fatal Allergies:
1. Inform the home room teacher that your child has a potentially fatal allergy.
2. Obtain an "Allergy Information Sheet" from the school. Complete the form and return it to the school as soon as possible.
3. Advise the teacher of pertinent information that would be important for safeguarding your child.
Parents of Children Who Share a Class with Children With Fatal Allergies
1. Follow the school’s request to send in "Safe Lunches" and "Safe Snacks". These do not include the ingredients that the child in your son/daughter’s class is allergic to.
All Parents
Please understand that something as simple as a peanut butter sandwich or a tuna sandwich can be very deadly to a child with a fatal allergy to peanuts or seafood. Please do not send in any peanut product or seafood product to school with your child.
We also have several staff and students with serious environmental allergies to spray perfumes and deodorants. These spray and aerosol products should remain at home as well.
Thank you for your consideration and preventative actions with regard to this most sensitive and important issue.
