New Student Accident/Injury Forms
We have updated the student accident/injury form that needs to be filled out. Please discard the old forms (the one you have to insert numbers/codes). Going forward please fill out the new form by clicking here and make a copy. One copy will stay at the school and the other copy will go to the District Nurses office at NHS. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Reminder, this form should be filled out for any student injury that was caused by our facility (broken chair, water on floor, etc..) OR any significant injury that requires medical attention (911, ER, Dr's visit). When in doubt fill it out. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
