summary/abstract:

Everyone wants their child to be safe and healthy at school. When a child with sickle cell disease starts school, however, parents have greater cause for concern. Here are some tips to help work through these concerns.

Get off to a good start.

When starting a new school or a new grade, talk to the school staff and nurse about your child’s sickle cell disease.

Prepare a school kit.

Set up a folder or binder that has up-to-date information about your child. Give the binder to the school. In an emergency, they will have important information they may need about your child. The kit should include:

             ·         A recent picture

             ·         Family contact names and phone numbers

             ·         Doctor name and phone number

             ·         Prescription information

             ·         Insurance information

             ·         Brochures on sickle cell disease
