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

While the method of treatment varies depending on the type of cancer, so does the length of treatment. One child may have surgery and then require no further treatment while another child may have surgery, followed by chemotherapy, radiation, and sometimes a bone marrow transplant. The cure rate for childhood cancer is better than ever before, with some types of cancer being at a 95% success rate or better.

​Unfortunately, treatment can be long, rigorous, and debilitating, making the process even more challenging than ever anticipated. Following treatment, both children and teens can suffer from late effects of treatment that include many physical, cognitive, psycho-social and emotional challenges. These challenges must be addressed prior to transitioning back to school.

The transition back to school can be very difficult. However, with the medical team, parents, and school team working together in a strong partnership, both children and teens can successfully reintegrate back to school. This educational tool-kit is designed to assist school personnel, parents, and the medical team with information and forms that will make the transition easier than ever before.
