[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours calls for literally every head bump, to tell me that my kid is spending a mandatory 20 minutes in the clinic, no matter what he is missing in class, even if he is going to miss lunch. Drives me nuts. [b]Would love to know if it is FCPS policy or just our school’s policy.[/b]  I’m all for watching out for concussions, but I don’t think we need to spend 20 minutes icing the head every time they honk heads with another kid.  [/quote]

The one time my kid bumped her head at school, she was fine and already back in class when the clinic called.  The aide apologized for bothering me, but said that she had was required to as it is FCPS policy that anything involving the head results in a short clinic stay and a call to a parent/guardian.

Besides that, the calls I've gotten have involved fever and/or times when the kid is feeling off and asks to talk to me (most of those times I have not had to go to the school, a quick chat has usually helped enough to get them back to class).  I'd assume they'd call for vomiting, as well, but knock wood that's never happened at school.[/quote]
