      Improved therapies and increased survival rates are sending more pediatric cancer patients and survivors back to their classrooms; however, most community school personnel lack training or experience in working with these students. The aim of this quality improvement project was twofold: (a) to evaluate community school personnel's perceptions of their preparedness to work with patients and childhood cancer survivors who have reentered the classroom; and (b) to standardize school reentry supports to improve community school personnel preparedness. Twenty community school personnel, prekindergarten through 12-grade teachers, guidance counselors, and administrators, who had previously worked with a pediatric cancer patient were surveyed regarding their experiences with the patient's school reentry. Responses were coded and analyzed, and a thematic map was created. School personnel reported concerns related to student functioning, such as academic readiness, cognitive impacts of treatment, social-emotional adjustment, physical ability to participate in school, and medical fragility. They also reported concerns related to their own ability to accommodate the student's needs. These results were used to design educational guides for community personnel consisting of information and resources to support them in managing the unique academic, social-emotional, physical, and medical needs of pediatric cancer patients and survivors in the classroom.
