What we do at the school:The CRC-CS follows the state laws and regulations as to student health.Our teachers undergo CPR training, but none are nurses and they claim no capacity to diagnoses or treat illness.We do have first aid kits for minor scrapes and cuts and a staff person trained in their application.Children are not allowed to bring any medicines or drugs to school.We do have a secure cabinet for storage of medicines provided by a child's guardians, that we will administer under doctor and guardian written orders only. |
What we know:A child can not learn if their health prevents adequate school attendance.A child needs a good breakfast, lunch and dinner to fuel his or her learning.A child needs to be rested and wide awake for school.A child needs physical activity in order to grow and learn.Infections often spread by contact so sometimes it is best to keep a child at home to protect the child's classmates. |
