Dear Laura,
I am writing this email in regards to my teachers aide position at OAMS for this upcoming fall school year. As I am eager to get back to work after having the summer off, unfortunately I have found a new job and I won't be returning to OES. I would love to come back and be a part of the OES team this year, but unfortunately I have found something that better fits me on what I would like to do in my lifetime. I'm very greatful for everything I have learned and accomplished while I was apart of the OES staff. I send my regrets, but I know that OES will have another great school year this year! Wishing all faculty and staff a safe and prosperous year, thank you for understanding.
Thank you, Courtney (Godfrey) Rando

It is imperative that an athlete who sustains a head injury be seen by a trained medical officer familiar with
concussion signs and symptoms. Guthrie Sports Medicine/Guthrie Clinic/Robert Packer Hospital is trained in
the diagnoses and treatment of concussions in Sayre, PA; Bradford County. If on-site evaluation is not
available then student-athletes will be directed to the nearest hospital for emergency room care.
Proper Return to Play Protocol and Clearance Once a student-athlete is diagnosed with a concussion, they should only be cleared back to athletics by the
OACSD Chief Medical Officer, a Concussion Certified Physician. In order to meet these regulations, the
OACSD has included a list of approved Concussion Certified Physicians. This will allow our athletes access
to a team of physicians that are trained concussion specialists.
No student should return to full athletics before going through a thorough return-to-play protocol. This is
usually 6 step supervised program. Return to play following a concussion requires a stepwise progression once
the individual is symptom free. There are many risks to premature return to play including: a greater risk for a
second concussion because of a lower concussion threshold, second impact syndrome (abnormal brain blood
flow that can result in death), exacerbation of any current symptoms, and possibly increased risk for additional
injury due to alteration in balance. No student athlete should return to play if symptomatic. Students are
prohibited from returning to play the day the concussion is suspected. If there is any doubt as to whether a
student has sustained a concussion, it should be treated as a concussion. When in doubt, sit them out.
The following criteria will be utilized before any athlete is cleared to return to play:
Asymptomatic during return to play protocol
Post-Concussion Management
Cognitive rest requires the student athlete avoid participation in, or exposure to, activities that require
concentration or mental stimulation.
Physical rest includes getting adequate sleep, taking frequent rest periods, and avoiding physical activity
that requires exertion.
Return to school activities may begin once a medical provider clears the student and may recommend a
gradual return to activities, after the student has been symptom free for 24 hours. For physical activities, please
refer to Zurich Guidelines which can be found at www.nysphsaa.org .
The school nurse and/or certified athletic trainer will oversee return to play protocol. Final return-to-play
decisions are made by the OACSD Chief Medical Officer or its designee; or a District-Approved Concussion
Certified Physician. It is suggested the student-athlete receive clearance from a Concussion Certified
Physician. All documentation will be kept with the school nurse; including but not limited to activities,
signs/symptoms and response. Protocol will be documented and kept on record.
See the list below of current Concussion Certified Hospitals approved by the OACSD. This list is subject to
change. Other Concussion Certified Physicians may be added over time.
Donald E Phykitt, DO, Medical Director – Guthrie Sports Medicine.
OACSD Chief Medical officer
6 Step Supervised Return-to-play Program
Once the student athlete is symptom free at rest for 24 hours and has a signed release by the OACSD Chielf
Medical Officer, she/he may begin the return to play progression below (provided there are no other mitigating
circumstances). A note from the OACSD CMO indicating “return to play/return to sports” following a head
injury diagnoses will initiate the 6 step Return-to-play Program. A general outline of this stepwise program is
listed. The OACSD CMO may also require a sports specific 6 step Return-to-play for student-athletes.
Step 1: Light aerobic activity
Step 2: Sport-specific activity
Step 3: Non-contact training drills
Step 4: Full Contact training drills
Step 5: Full Contact practice
Step 6: Return to Play
Each step should take at least 24 hours so that an athlete would take approximately one week to proceed
through the full rehabilitation protocol once they are asymptomatic at rest and with provocative exercise. If
any post-concussion symptoms occur while in the stepwise program, then the student should drop back to the
previous asymptomatic level and try to progress again after a further 24-hour period of rest has passed.
[These NYSPHAA current return-to-play recommendations are based on the most recent international expert
opinion.]
[This 6 step return to play protocol has been designed in collaboration with the OACSD Chief Medical Officer, Donald E Phykitt, DO, Medical Director – Guthrie Sports Medicine.]
