Health & Wellness
In order to meet the physical and emotional needs of our students, Long Trail provides support and educational services for our community. This includes coordinating with outside healthcare professionals.
If a student becomes ill or injured while at school, s/he must go to the School Nurse or, during athletics, a coach. S/he may not leave campus without an adult’s knowledge and permission. A parent or guardian will be contacted if it is necessary for a student to go home.
