[quote=SAM2][quote=Anonymous]I think if a mark is left they have to give an incident report. If there is no mark the only case where I feel they must tell me is if there is a head injury in case it ends up being more severe than they initially thoughr.[/quote]
This is closest to where I am.  I accept that all kids get hurt fairly often when they play -- sometimes by accident and sometimes intentionally.  If the injury is minor (skinned knee, minor bumps and bruises, some crying), I don't need anything.  If my child gets some moderate-major injury (big cut, big bruise, head injury, major upset of some sort), then I'd like to hear something from the school.  I don't need a formal incident report, but I'd like to get some communication -- a teacher's note home in the child's backpack, a nurse's voicemail, an email, etc -- to let me know how my child got hurt, and that someone was paying enough attention to make sure the injury was not serious.  Unless there is some specific reason (for example, a concerning pattern of some specific other child picking on my child, or maybe a pattern of my child doing dangerous things with another specific child), I don't need the school to tell me who else was involved.  YMMV, obviously.[/quote]
