☑️ Know the Concussion Policy - Carroll's Concussion Policy describes a partnership between athletes, coaches, parents, counselors, nurses and faculty that is essential for the management of head injury/concussion in our student population. Please note that if your child sustains a head injury or reports symptoms during a team activity, the coach will remove them from play and contact you. Your child will be referred to their PCP for an assessment and clearance to return to play/return to academics.  If your child sustains a head injury outside of school, please contact the school nurse immediately to discuss a management plan.

☑️ Select Emergency Medication Plan - If your child is prescribed emergency medications (i.e. inhalers, epipens) for asthma or life-threatening allergies, there are two options for ensuring that their meds are accessible to them during team activities. (1) You may provide a dedicated set to the coach who will store them in their equipment bag for the duration of the season, or (2) You may choose to have your child carry the medications to sports each day, and notify the coaches where they will be located. Please note that if you choose option 2 and the medications are forgotten or otherwise unavailable, in an emergency situation the coaches would call 911 to activate emergency medical services.
