• Health and Safety

  • Absences and Illness

    PASAR encourages parents to call the campus PASAR cell phone number when a student is not attending PASAR. A student cannot attend PASAR if absent for the school day.

    If your student becomes ill at PASAR, PASAR staff will contact parents immediately. It is the parent’s responsibility to pick up their student within one hour of being notified upon request.   

    The student may return to PASAR when fever or symptom free, for 24 hours, without medication.

  • Medication

    PASAR staff will follow any orders for dispensing medication that is processed through the school nurse following a Medication Authorization Form. Parents should note the need for a Medical Action Plan (Asthma, Anaphylaxis, Diabetes or Seizure Disorder) in the Eleyo system. Parents should also notify the PASAR Staff on site that a Medical Action Plan is on file with the school campus nurse. 

    Please complete any applicable District Health Forms for Parents. The plan must be updated annually by the parent and given to the PASAR Site Manager before the student can attend PASAR. 

    Requirements regarding specialized medical assistance:

    • If a student requires specialized medical assistance, specialized medical assistance is provided as recommended or ordered by a health-care professional.
    • The health-care professional’s recommendations or orders must be maintained for at least three months after the health-care professional has indicated the specialized medical assistance is no longer needed. 

  • Accidents and Student Injuries

    Parents are encouraged to speak with their children about the importance of reporting any and all injuries to any member of the PASAR staff. This will help to ensure PASAR staff provide students with the appropriate care needed. 

    Parents will be notified by phone, prior to picking up their student on the day the injury occurs, and after first aid has been provided. Upon arriving at the site, parents can expect a report of what occurred and will be asked to sign documentation regarding the student’s injury. 

  • Procedure for Handling Medical Emergencies – 911

    A Core Team (safety response staff) will be activated. One member of the PASAR Staff will remain with the child to provide first aid while other members of the PASAR team contact both 911 and parents. 

    After the site manager calls 911, PASAR staff will notify their respective zone leader. If EMTs determine the child must be transported to the hospital, and the parent has not arrived at the site, the site manager or zone leader will accompany the child. As a reminder, it is of great importance that all emergency contact and medical release forms in Eleyo are updated on a regular basis. 

    Student Accident Report will be used as documentation for when an incident has occurred. The parents will receive a copy of the report.

  • Safety Protocols - Emergency Preparedness Plan

    PASAR staff follow SRP (Standard Response Protocol), a nationally-recognized emergency response methodology that is action-based, flexible, and easy to learn. SRP is used at all Plano ISD campuses. 

    Monthly drills are performed at each PASAR site. Drills include: lockdown, secure, shelter for weather, fire, shelter for haz-mat, evacuation drill (non-fire) & hold.
