Sign ups for fall sports start July 22!
The NYS Education Department has revised its Guidelines for Concussion Management in Schools, a link to which is posted on our Athletics page and on NYSED's website (https://www.p12.nysed.gov/sss/documents/FinalConcussionGuidelines7_6_2022PDF.pdf). These revised guidelines provide information on current best practices in concussion management and should be reviewed by district administrators, health professionals, PE and athletic personnel, and classroom teachers. Revisions include: updated approved concussion courses that school nurses, athletic trainers, physical education teachers, and coaches are required to take every two years; refined guidance on “Return to Academic Activities”; and “Return to Physical Activities” now permits some level of sub-symptoms during each phase. For questions, please contact NYSED's Office of Student Support Services at studentsupportservices@nysed.gov.
