After  your child has received a diagnosis of concussion the symptoms they are experiences will determine a return to school. The decision to return to school resides with the family/guardian.  When your child can tolerate 30-45 minutes of light mental activity you may consider returning to school.

Parents should communicate with the school following a concussion about the diagnosis and symptoms. Parents and the school should decide together the level of academic adjustments that may be needed depending on severity of symptoms, type of symptoms and times of day a student experiences symptoms.
