2262C - ILLNESS/ACCIDENTS AND ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION

Emergency Care

If a child is injured and we deem necessary, an emergency squad will be called for treatment and/or transport to the hospital. We will make every effort to notify the parents/guardians as quickly as possible, but the immediate care of the child is our primary concern.

Emergency Form

Every child must have an emergency information form on file with the site supervisor. Parents/guardians are responsible for updating the information.

Illness

SACC personnel cannot be left responsible to care for sick children. Children who are ill and/or running a temperature cannot be left at a SACC site. Parents/guardians will be called and requested to pick up their sick child as soon as possible. If a child is absent from school, s/he cannot attend SACC.

Medication

Medication will be administered to your child only with your written permission, and after you have completed the appropriate form(s), which is signed by your physician. This form is kept at the SACC site.

Parents are responsible for notifying staff of any medicine that needs to be administered on the extended days, with copies of the appropriate form(s).

Accidents

An incident report is completed by a SACC staff member to report any injury that s/he determines to need medical or dental attention. The parent/guardian will be asked to sign the form, along with the person reporting the incident. The original will be sent to Central office of the Board, a copy will be kept by the SACC Director, and a copy will be kept on file at the site.

Since accidents can occur without the knowledge of the supervisor, children are advised to report any accidents to the SACC staff.
