Head Injury

The Meridian School District likes to identify students who have suffered a brain/head injury at some point in their life.  Research has shows that academic difficulties often do not show up immediately with some brain injuries.  By identifying and gathering information on these students we will be better able to assist them if necessary.  If your student has had a head injury, please fill out the Head/Brain Injury  form and return it to your school nurse.

If you would like further information regarding head injuries, visit the Kids Health site, or the Web MD site.
