HEADS UP to Schools

Know Your Concussion ABCs

Any one of your students could take a spill, knock his/her head, and get a concussion in any number of school settings ranging from the hallway, the playground, the cafeteria, and beyond.

That’s why—whether you’re a principal, school nurse, teacher or other school professional—the CDC and several other distinguished medical, educational, school-health and school-professional organizations encourage you to use the HEADS UP to Schools: Know Your Concussion ABCs materials.

This flexible set of materials, developed for professionals working with grades K-12, will help you identify and respond to concussions in an array of school settings.
