Concussion Information
Oxbridge Academy takes great pride in providing optimal health care to all students and employees, including concussion management. Concussions are recognized as being a potentially very serious condition that if managed improperly can lead to catastrophic consequences. In order for the medical staff to adequately manage a student with a concussion, each student that participates in a competitive sport, club sport, or dance class must complete baseline testing each year.

Please remember that the medical staff of the Health and Wellness Clinic have the students best interest, safety, and well-being in mind. If a student is made to sit out of a sport or physical activity due to a suspected concussion, try to remember that it is one game versus the rest of their lives.
