The nose bleed thing I don't reallt think a phone call is needed. My kids got them at school and I was never contacted. The broken arm thing...sounds complicated. They must not have known ir was broken, which sucks, but happens. I do think in that situation if he went to the nurse explaining what happened and crying about it hurting they should have called you. - Does he go to the nurse often? That's the only thing I could think of as to why it was brushed off so easily, but again still a hasty decision.I need help figuring out the best way to speak to the administration of my kids' school. Today for the second time in the last few weeks my older son was sent to the nurse for a nosebleed. The first one was somewhat of an issue because he ended up with quite a bit of blood on his shirt that they made him change it. Today's wasn't as bad and stopped almost immediately after he got to the nurse. Am I out of line for thinking that they should have contacted us to let us know that happened? Compounding the issue is that about two months ago my younger son broke his arm at school before lunch and they never contacted us about it. We knew nothing until we picked him up from latchkey and he was crying his arm hurt so much. How do I tactfully suggest to the principal and district administration that maybe they should be contacting the parents in these situations? The only time I've heard anything from them was when my older son got so overheated in gym he threw up. And that was only because I had to go pick him up.
I don't think you'd have any issue calling and explaining that you'd like to be contacted anytime one of your kids goes to the nurse. If it were me, I'd enail the nurse and admin. and follow up with a phone call. My guess is they'll have no issue with your request once they know about it. You have to remember the vast number of different typesof parents schools have...some hate anytime a school calls, some NEVER answer, some yell at them every time they call and then there are others who are supportive and would like the communication. I imagine once you let them know you want to ve notified, they'll start notifying you.
ETA: Just needed to edit to add that you also have the parents that want to bring an attorney to everything lol. Like I said there's just so many different types of families in one school building and their preferences go from one extreme to the other. Just let them know...I think you'll find this is an easy fix.
