Health & Safety
Minnesota Transitions Charter Schools (MTCS) is committed to ensuring the health and safety of all students. MTCS provides health related services designed to meet the individual needs of students across the district. It is a focus of the Health Services Department that all students receive the care they need throughout the school day to support their educational success.
MTCS health services consists of trained health assistants working under the delegation of a licensed school nurse to provide a variety of medical procedures that support a healthy learning environment for all students.
The office staff in each building is equipped to handle minor injuries requiring first aid. If a student experiences a more serious medical emergency at school, staff will contact 911/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for any serious or life-threatening condition that occurs. It is imperative to be able to have trained medical personnel onsite as soon as possible to assist with the health and safety of your student. EMS will evaluate the situation at the school and determine if they need to bring the student into a nearly Emergency Department. Every attempt will be made to immediately notify the parent/guardian/emergency contact as well.
