In 2018, approximately 325 children in Virginia were diagnosed with childhood cancer.

Just as adults get up and go to work each day, children get up and go to school. When children are unable to attend school due to lengthy
hospitalizations, clinic visits, and medical treatment, these children feel a loss. Therefore, physicians and medical team members are working for the cure and also to instill as much normalcy in the child’s life as possible, which includes transitioning back to school as soon as possible. With this transition back to school comes many questions and concerns regarding the physical, cognitive, and psycho-social & emotional late effects of treatment. In order to be proactive and make the transition as smooth as possible, these questions and concerns must be addressed in the school setting. The medical team and parents play a key role in educating school personnel and providing them with the necessary documentations and information needed to support the child as he or she transitions back.

As a joint project between the Virginia Department of Health, ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation, and the Virginia Childhood Cancer Workgroup, an educational toolkit was designed to help support each childhood cancer patient as he or she transitions back to school. The toolkit is divided into three section: hospital section, school section and parent section. Each section provides information and forms to promote a successful re-entry back to school.
