You should let all your freind's know and tell all the teachers (along with the Principles) what to do if you have a seizure in front of them. That way, if someone you told see's you have a seizure... they will know what to do as soon as it happens. I do this every time I meet someone new, that way that person knows what to do f something were to happen to me Seizure wise.
