  • Call 911.
  • If there has been any loss of consciousness, assume there is a possible neck injury and do not move the student,
  • Stay with the student until emergency medical services arrive.
  • Contact the student’s parents/guardians (or emergency contact) to inform them of the incident and that emergency medical services have been contacted.
  • Monitor and document any changes (that is, physical, cognitive, emotional/behavioural) in the student.
  • Consult your school board’s injury report form for documentation procedures.
  • If the student has lost consciousness and regains consciousness, encourage them to remain calm and to lie still.
  • Do not administer medication (unless the student requires medication for other conditions, for example, insulin for a student with diabetes, inhaler for asthma).
