conflict or injuries. The teacher will verbally review
the rules and expectations before the start of the
activity. Before the start of class, the teacher will
have knowledge of any health related issues the
students may have, which will be provided by the
school. If an emergency occurs, the teacher will
remain calm while transporting the students to a safe
environment, based on the situation. If a student is
injured, the teacher will stop the activity and have
the students seated away from the injured student
while the teacher notifies the proper authorities
(YMCA supervisor) of the childs injuries. Each
