Therefore, the survey should not take more than about 10 minutes. The survey window closes at 5 pm on Monday, April 28. survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZCQNWKS
Concussion Lanyards & New Protocol for Head Injuries
– Schools will be starting a new protocol for when students have a head injury. In addition to the current practice of notifying parents, students will receive the attached letter from the office to go home, listing symptoms of a concussion observed by staff or reported by the student. Additionally, students will get a lanyard with a card listing symptoms of a concussion to wear home to inform parents and to also alert staff that a student has a head injury earlier in the day. A couple schools have invited nurses to come share at staff meetings about concussion, so let me know if this is something people would be interested in. Robin may present to us in our May meeting about this.
