ACCIDENT OR ILLNESS


1. In the event of a minor accident or illness which does not
require the student to be moved from the school to a medical
facility, the student will be treated at the school and the parents
contacted. Some examples are : cut fingers, nausea, sprained
finger, etc.
2. If the condition of the student warrants further medical
treatment, the parent will be contacted to take the student to his
or her family doctor or a medical facility’ e.g., rashes, flu, cuts
requiring a few stitches.
3. If the need for medical attention is immediate, the student will
be taken to the Redwater Hospital. The parents will be contacted
to meet the student at the hospital e.g., severe cut, severe
allergic reaction, broken arm.
4. If the need for medical attention is immediate, but the student
should not be moved or transported without professional medical
help, an ambulance will be called; e.g., back injury, unconscious-
ness.




EMERGENCY PROCEDURE PLAN


1. If an emergency occurs such as a gas leak, toxic spill nearby,
etc. and it is determined that the school must be evacuated, stu-
dents will be moved to the Radway Agri-Center. From this point it
will be established if students will be bussed home or wait in the
Agri-Center.
2. If students are to be sent home, parents will be contacted by
phone. Bus drivers will not leave any student under 12 years of
age at an unoccupied house.
3. In the event that the emergency affects both the school and
the Agri-Center. Students will be taken by foot ( if it is an
immediate danger) upwind and away from the source of danger.
They will be picked up by bus as soon as possible or arrange-
ments to shelter them will be made.
4. Bus drivers will be contacted and arrangements made to bus
students home. Calls informing the parents will be made from
local telephones.
