EMERGENCY INFORMATION Code Blue Team The emergency team will respond to school emergencies when “code blue” is signaled over the walkie-talkie or the intercom. Team members are: Michael Murray Emily Culberson Shane Ferron Tracey Kerste�er Officer Gallagher (SRO) Amy Haislip (Nurse) Kyle Markley Larae Biggerstaff Critical Illness or Injury: *If the need is cri�cal (i.e., cardiac arrest, loss of consciousness, significant injury, seizure) your first responsibility is to stay with the student and assist as you are able. Direct an appropriate person to call the office to report the “Code Blue” emergency also sta�ng the loca�on (i.e. “Code Blue- Gymnasium”). If an appropriate person is not available, make the call to the office yourself as quickly as possible. Return to the student immediately and stay with the student throughout the emergency. When an emergency call is received in the office an ALL CALL on the intercom or the walkie-talkies will be done sta�ng “Code Blue-loca�on (i.e. gymnasium)”. This will tell the Code Blue Team to come to the loca�on. Each Code Blue Team Member will have a backup for his/her other responsibili�es at all �mes. *Upon hearing “Code Blue”, all Code Blue Team Members will report to the loca�on of the emergency. The first Code Blue Team member at the loca�on will be responsible for administra�on of first-aid/CPR. 911 will be called at the principal’s judgment. Other du�es will be assigned as needed. Mrs. Haislip/office staff member will carry the first aid kit containing all the supplies to the loca�on of the Code Blue. The AED machine is located in the nurse’s office. *As soon as the Code Blue Team determines if the student needs to be transported to the hospital, the parent/guardian or emergency contact will be called by office staff member to inform them of the emergency. If the child needs to be transported to the hospital, parents will decide if the parent will come to the school and transport the student to medical care or if an ambulance should transport the student. The parent/guardian or emergency contact will indicate to which hospital their student should be taken. If �me is cri�cal a Code Blue Team Member may obtain an ambulance by reques�ng 911. If a parent/guardian or emergency

29



contact is unavailable, designated school personnel will go to the nearest hospital with the student and remain there un�l the parent/guardian arrives. The hospital cannot treat a student without parental consent except in a dire emergency. *It is the school policy that no medica�on be used without wri�en parental consent. *Latex gloves are kept in the wall pocket in every classroom. Non-Critical Illness or Injury: If the need is not cri�cal, the student should be taken by the teacher to the office. If the teacher needs assistance in trea�ng or evalua�ng the illness/injury, a member of the Code Blue Team shall be contacted by office personnel and requested to come to the office. When blood is visible, please use disposable gloves and contact the office for a Code Blue Team Member to assist. Special precau�ons must be used for blood spills. Crisis Response Team The Central Office has requested that each school establish a crisis response team in case of another event such as the one that occurred on September 11th. If an event occurs, the team will meet to assess the situa�on at our school and provide informa�on to the staff as needed. Please remember, if at all possible, to stay on a normal rou�ne in order to help students feel secure.

TOBACCO POLICY (p.105)

See the UCPS Middle School Student Handbook

The Board of Educa�on promotes the health and safety of all students and staff and the cleanliness of all school facili�es. The Board believes that the use of tobacco products on school grounds, in school buildings and facili�es, in or on any other school property owned or operated by the Board, or at school-related or school-sponsored events is detrimental to the health and safety of students, staff, and school visitors. The use of tobacco products is a health, safety, and - 80 - environmental hazard for students, employees, visitors, and school facili�es. In order to promote posi�ve role models in schools and provide a healthy learning and working environment, the Board adopts the following policy. No one is permitted to use any tobacco product at any time including non-school hours - in any building, property, or vehicle owned, leased, rented or contracted by the school district; on school grounds, athletic grounds, or parking lots; or at any school-sponsored event off campus. Tobacco products may be displayed for a legi�mate instruc�onal or pedagogical purpose, conducted or supervised by a staff member. The ac�vity may not include smoking, chewing or otherwise inges�ng the tobacco product. For purposes of this policy, “tobacco product” is defined as any product that contains or is made or derived from tobacco and is intended for human consump�on, to include cigare�es, all lighted and smokeless tobacco products, as well as electronic or smokeless cigare�es, vaporizers, and other electronic smoking devices even if they do not contain tobacco or nico�ne, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, snuff, and any other items containing or reasonably resembling tobacco or tobacco products. “Tobacco use” includes smoking, chewing, dipping, or any other use of tobacco products. Students and employees who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary ac�on. See Student Code of Conduct chart above also.
