It's important to raise awareness about concussion throughout the school community and to educate athletes, parents, and others about how to prevent, recognize, and respond to concussions. 

The district has been focused on recognizing a concussion, reacting appropriately, understanding the danger of reacting inappropriately, and following correct protocols for allowing students to return to school and athletic participation. Our goal is to reduce the number of students and athletes suffering from post-concussion syndrome.

We have partnered with the New York State Athletic Administrators Association and the New York State Public High School Athletic Association to educate our coaches, physical education teachers, school nurse teachers, student athletes, parents, and school physicians about the latest news in sport concussion management policies and procedures.
