Anamosa Concussion Strategy

Wapsi Physical Therapy (Sally Meyer, PT) and Nurse Angie Jess are available to assist your athletes return to safe play and to assist with the 2011 state of Iowa law regarding return to play following a concussion. Each athlete will have a baseline test done to assist in post-concussion evaluation. This baseline is required prior to practice just like the sports physical is required. Only one test is needed per calendar year. If your athlete demonstrates or reports any sign of concussion they must be immediately removed from play and be evaluated for a concussion. This evaluation can be done by a physician of the family’s choice or one of the above individuals. After evaluation the student will be allowed to return to school and activity per the state guidelines which are tested by the school nurse on a daily basis. The coach and student are required to notify the Secondary Nurse - Angie Jess as soon as they return to school after a concussion so they can begin the return to play protocol. The student will be released to full practice and play when all the following are completed: • Completed the return to play protocol • cleared by physician or Sally at Wapsi PT • returned to pretesting level on the baseline concussion testing Please do not let the student practice or play until you have the log sheet signed from the Secondary Nurse - Angie Jess showing that all of these steps have been completed. Please see attached school policy, return to play form and information sheet. For any questions please contact School Nurse Angie Jess or Sally Meyer, PT at 462-6882

Procedures and Expectations for using School Vehicles (9 Passenger and under)

To request to use a School-owned vehicle: • Fill out a Request for Transportation available at your building’s office. • Turn in your request to your building Principal or Supervisor for approval. On the form is an area to mark to

verify that a copy of your current Driver’s License is on file with the District Office. If not, please include a copy with your request. Copies are required the first time you use a vehicle each school year or a new copy if you have renewed your license.

• Please submit all requests at least 5 business days before your trip to allow for Principal/Supervisor approval, Superintendent approval, and time for internal mail delays.

• After approval, you should get a pink copy back through channels. • Do not travel alone with only 1 student without permission of the Superintendent or designee and parent

notification.

Trip Procedures: • If your trip occurs on a regular business day from 6:30 am to 4 pm, you will be able to pick up the vehicle at

the Bus Garage. If outside of regular hours or on a day the Garage is closed, you will need to pick up keys ahead of time. The vehicle must remain at the Bus Garage until departure unless you live outside of the District and your home is between Anamosa and your destination.

• When you arrive to get your vehicle, check in with the Transportation Director or Mechanic if available.

Rules for the Road: • Your trip should be logged in with a starting mileage recorded on the vehicle’s Log Sheet. • Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls before you leave. Do this by checking the Vehicle

Inspection list on the back of the mileage log sheet on the clipboard. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

• Ask or look for the location of the med kit and fire extinguisher in the vehicle you are using. These are required in all school vehicles which may carry passengers on a regular basis.

• Speed limits are to be observed. Headlights are required at all times. Do not rely on automatic headlights. Seatbelts are required to be used by all passengers while the vehicle is in use. Remember that you are a representative of the Anamosa CSD, and the vehicle you are using is clearly identified. If you are violating the law or driving recklessly or dangerously, observers have been known to call the Superintendent to make a report. The safety of the driver and all passengers is of primary importance.

• Driver cellphone usage must be kept to Emergency Use Only when driving. If you must make a non-emergency contact with someone, safely pull off the road or ask a passenger to place a call for you. Texting or reading/responding to email is prohibited at all times by State Law.

• If you need fuel while on the road, make sure you get a receipt. Turn the receipt in to the Transportation Director or Central Office afterwards.

36

When you return: • Log out on the vehicle’s mileage sheet. Make a note on the log sheet if there are any problems with the

vehicle. Remove any accumulated trash. A dumpster is available in the front of the Garage. • Secure and lock the vehicle. If the Garage is open, drop the keys off with the Director or Mechanic if

available. Otherwise, drop the keys in the black flapper door to the right of the front walk in door to the Garage.

Please sign and date the attached form indicating you have read and acknowledge these procedures and expectations. This signed acknowledgement and a copy of your current driver’s license will be retained in your personnel file in Central Office. A copy of your current license and a new signed acknowledgement will be required each school year. The District may do a basic “public record” driving record check.
