Concussion Management
A concussion can be a serious medical condition. Any member of the school community who believes a student is displaying concussion symptoms should immediately ensure the student is assessed by the school nurse. The nurse would then refer the student for further medical evaluation.
When parents or guardians have been informed that their student has been identified by a licensed medical doctor as having suffered a concussion, the following steps should be taken.
