4 A Note From the Director Regarding Injuries Received at School It has been our school policy to call you when your child gets hurt at school if it s more than tender loving care, washing and a band-aid can cure. We will call you if your child has had her/his head bumped in any way, if another child has bitten your child and broken the skin, if we even think a cut may need stitches or that a bone is broken. The latter mentioned injuries are few and far between but at times do happen. We are trained in First Aid and CPR, so we administer immediate care. If anything else is needed, we either call you or emergency medical assistance. Please check the appropriate box below indicating your preference for notification regarding boo-boo s then sign and date. We are required to have this form on file for each child attending the school. Thank you.
