After an incident, what is the required approach to informing guardians?

• A. Never contact guardians.
• B. Contact guardians only if the student is injured.
• C. Contact guardians before filing any report.
• D. Contact guardians as required.

Answer: (D)

After an incident, you must inform guardians according to the district’s rules. This means following the official notification procedures—who to contact, how to contact them, and the time frame for doing so. The goal is to keep families informed about events involving their child, provide accurate details, and allow guardians to respond or seek guidance as needed. Even if no one is injured, many incidents still require notifying guardians to document what happened and what actions were taken. Notifying only in cases of injury would miss other important safety or policy concerns, and never contacting guardians would violate the duty to communicate. The proper approach is to inform guardians as required, in a timely and documented way.
