Concussion
A traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head can change the way the brain normally works.
SPORTS
If a head injury is suspected, an athlete will IMMEDIATELY be pulled from practice or the game and CANNOT return until a doctor's note is received clearing them to do so. If a student has been diagnosed with a concussion OR head injury, the CIF and the RJUHSD have put in place a process to ensure that student-athletes return to play appropriately. After your physician's visit, please provide complete forms to the school nurse:
* After being cleared of a concussion, the student should provide a written letter of clearance from the physician to the school nurse and the coach before returning to learning and returning to play.
OTHER PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES OTHER THAN SPORTS
Any physically demanding class including but not limited to PE, dance, marching band, and collar guard. If the injury occurred outside of school, then parents and the student’s doctor/care team are responsible for notifying the school nurse, counselor, or teacher.
