Incident Reports
Incident reports (red sheets) are completed whenever one child intentionally hurts another.  Completed forms, including all teacher and parent signatures, are put into the child’s file in the office.  Each report equals one offense.  The consequences are as follows:
1st offense: time out or removal from class or activity
2nd offense: loss of a privilege (recess, choice time, special privilege, prize) and a note is sent home about the incident.
3rd offense: a call to the parent is made about the incident (loss of a second privilege)
4th offense: a conference is held with the parents and the administration
5th offense: suspension
6th offense: expulsion

Severe behavior:  Whenever a student loses control and hurts someone, a call will be made to the parents and that child will be sent home for the day.  The student must be picked up promptly.

Medications
We must receive written permission prior to dispensing any medications (both prescription and over-the-counter).  A Permission to Administer Medication Form can be obtained from the office and must be filled out completely.  Purple forms are available for long-term medications and yellow forms for short-term medications.  All medications must be in the original container.  Prescription medicine must have the pharmacy label in place with the child’s name listed, dosage instructions for administering the medicine and the physician’s name.  Medications will be administered in the office with two adults present.

Student Illness and Reasons to Send a Child Home
While we hope that your child stays healthy, should your child become ill, you will receive a telephone call from the Academy.

A student will be sent home with prompt pick-up for the following:

  1. incurs a fever of 100 degrees or higher
  2. is vomiting repeatedly
  3. has diarrhea more than once in a day
  4. has a rash that may be contagious to others through general contact
  5. has a headache that persists throughout the day.
  6. is found to have lice and/or nits.
Lice Policy
If a student is found to have nits or lice, they will be sent home with a prompt pick-up by a parent.  An information packet will be sent with the child to aid parents in getting rid of the lice.  The child will not be able to return to school until they are nit free.  The child will be checked in the office to determine whether they will be able to return to class.

Medical Emergency
Should a medical emergency arise, resulting from either a serious accident or some other cause, the Academy will take the following immediate action:

  1. First aid will be administered by trained personnel on site and parents will be contacted.
  2. In the event parents/guardians cannot be reached, the child’s physician will be called and the details of the situation provided. The physician shall make the determination whether the child should be taken to the Emergency Room.
  3. The child’s teacher will accompany the child to the Emergency Room.
  4. A Green Health Report Form will be completed by the Academy staff and presented to the parent. This form needs to be signed by the reporting and classroom teachers and parents/guardian on site.
  5. Any further procedures that need to be followed are listed in the Crisis Intervention Plan.
