Accident or Injury

Any accident or injury occurring on the school grounds between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. must be reported immediately by the student to the Health or Principal’s Offices.

Casts and Crutches at School

To ensure student safety, all students who return to school with a cast or crutches must have a doctor’s note which includes the following:

  • Date of visit, diagnosis, doctor/provider’s signature and stamp
  • Restrictions (P.E., sports, recess, weight-bearing, stairs, etc.)
  • Date(s) of restriction
  • Healthcare provider must indicate if crutches are to be used at school and that the student has been instructed in proper use of crutches. Crutches are not issued nor loaned from the Health Office.
  • Exclusion from school may apply if the requested documentation is not provided.

Your child will need to check in with the Health Office on the first day back to school so accommodations can be made for his/her safety at school. If possible, parent/guardian should accompany the student to the Health Office so that the following may be discussed:

  • Early-release pass between classes to avoid crowded hallways, locker area, etc.
  • TUSD Authorization for Medication at School if medication is required at school
  • Procedure for use of elevator (if applicable)
