dd fell at school and noone was told....

[Melmomof2girls]

My 4 year old dd is in head start.  My sil is the one that takes her to school and usually picks her up but somedays my mil has to pick her up. Well, today was a day my mil had to pick her up.

My MIL gets to the school and when my dd comes out of the class room, she is limping and you can see in her face that she is in pain.  My mil asked her what happened and my dd replied "when we were outside for recess, I fell and hurt my foot" {she proceeded to show mil where it hurt}.  My mil asked if she told anyone that she fell.  My dd said, yes i told miss lynda and miss meghan {lynda is her teacher and meghan is an outside aid}.  My mil called me and told me what happened and that she was giving her tylnol and putting ice on it and keeping it up.  She said you can tell that it hurts when she walks on it, and that while she does not think that it is broken, it may be fractured.  I got there as soon as i could {i was on my way to my ob office} and took her to the er.  Thank fully it is not broken or fractured, but sprained really bad.

My problem is that the school never told my mil when she picked up dd that she fell, and I was not called {or anyone else on the emergency contact list} to be told/warned that she fell.  I plan on talking to the school tomorrow when I go there for picture day {they do sibling pics} and find out what happened.

My ?  for everyone is....What would you do about it?  I don't want to get to pissed at the school, but I think something should be done.

If I were you, I'd ask why nobody was notified, and demand that someone be called in the future. I would also ask for a supervisor and let them know as well. I imagine it is not the first time this happened to someone there.

I work at a daycare and i know that for anything, scratch bite, fall we HAVE to write an incidence report. if it is serious like the child is bleeding alot or in obvious pain we HAVE to call the emergency contacts (parents, grandparents, whoever is on the list) to let them know. And that is just a daycare so i'm pretty sure there is some sort of similar procedure at headstart, i would talk to the director or whoever is in charge, not the teachers because they may just try to cover their own behinds.
