Health

Beacon seeks to support the entire student’s well being: mentally, physically, academically, familial, and emotionally. In the event of an emergency, every effort will be made to reach the student’s parent/ caregiver and/or emergency contact alongside the administration of essential emergency care. Our school nurse, Joni Shaw-Prophete, has over 18 years of school nursing under her belt and is available to the students and staff every Tuesday in person from 7:30am- 1:00pm and is otherwise remotely available. Below is a snapshot of the health protocol/ procedures for Beacon:

First Aid/Emergencies

• All staff are fully trained in both first aid and CPR which is renewed every two years.

• Each classroom as well as the front desk is equipped with first aid kits to handle minor injuries.

• The nurse’s office is located on the first floor and is fully stocked with additional supplies. Beacon also has an AED which is stored near the front desk.

Allergies

• To minimize the risk of exposure to potential allergens we do not allow outside food in the building. Both breakfast and lunch are available to students as well as snacks throughout the day.

• We maintain a list of student allergies, emergency plans, and essential emergency medications in the event they are needed.
