CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT
River Mill Academy seeks the safe return to activity for all injured students. Recent research in concussion management has increased awareness in both the general public and the medical community. River Mill Academy seeks the recommendations from the NCHSAA and the CDC and adapted for River Mill Academy.
These adapted recommendations provide guidelines in recognizing concussion, management, and safe return to activity that includes academic as well as sports, for the school personnel. During the school day for a student with this injury, medical monitoring, academic assistance and counseling may be needed during the school day. Appropriate school personnel will be contacted on a case-by-case basis.
An annual review of the protocol will be completed by the school nurse, athletic coaches and administration.
