Immediate Release Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Prioritizes Concussion Awareness for Student-Athletes Gary, Indiana - In our ongoing effort to ensure the safety and well-being of all student-athletes, Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School is distributing a Concussion Awareness Fact Sheet for parents and guardians. This essential information is attached to this announcement and provides guidance on recognizing, responding to, and preventing concussions in student-athletes. Concussions can have significant effects on a young person’s health, both short-term and long-term. Understanding the symptoms and appropriate response is crucial to protecting student-athletes in sports and physical activities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to review the fact sheet, print the necessary documents, sign them, and submit them to the athletic department or nursing department at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School. These signed forms are required to ensure that all families are informed and prepared to respond effectively should a concussion occur. Together, by staying informed and taking precautions, we can help our students enjoy a safe and healthy athletic experience. Thank you for supporting this important health initiative. For further questions, please contact the Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School athletic department or nursing department.
