Fr. Michael Goetz Catholic Secondary School

Accidents/ Medical Emergencies

Any accident/medical emergency that occurs in the school or at a school sponsored event must be reported to the General Office as soon possible. First-aid equipment as well as Ambulance and C.P.R. staff is available.

Any student who becomes ill during the school day must report to either the Attendance Office or the General Office. At that time the school will contact the student’s parent/guardian to indicate the nature of the student’s discomfort. At that time arrangements will be made to ensure the student’s safe return either to the home or back to the classroom.

Both Board and Ministry Policy state that no staff member is permitted to dispense any form of medication to any student.

It is very important that the school has current phone numbers to reach parents/guardians in case of an emergency. Parents are asked to contact the Attendance Office whenever there is a change of home, business or cell number.
