Accident Reporting
If your child bumps their head and treatment such as an ice pack has been applied, a telephone call will be made to the parents informing them of the injury.
For minor injuries, a note will be sent home in their book bag.
Watches
Please do not send your child into school with any kind of smart watch. The only watches allowed are simple, timekeeping watches.
