Emergency First Aid

Emergency first aid can be given by the nurse or a member of the school staff.  If a student is seriously injured and needs medical attention, the parent is contacted and so advised. In accordance with state law, the school nurse is not allowed to make a medical diagnosis or prescribe treatment. When accidents occur during school hours, basic first-aid and/or emergency care will be given according to Arizona State Board of Nursing standards and practices. When the parent cannot be located, the school will exercise its legal option to act in the place of the parent and secure emergency treatment. If the parent cannot be reached and the student needs immediate attention the Emergency Services will be called. Should your student require transport or treatment by Emergency Services, parents/guardians are responsible for all costs.
