Excess Student Accident Insurance Overview
SCHOOL YEAR 2020-2021
HOW TO ENROLL - Your school is very interested in providing a safe environment for all students. However, accidents do happen every day during school activities. Therefore, the school offers parents the opportunity to enroll their child in a low cost, school approved insurance program.We strongly urge all parents to read this description of coverage and consider enrolling your child in this voluntary insurance program. This program does not provide coverage for interscholastic sports injuries. The school district purchases a separate sports policy to cover students during school sports practices and games. These policies may not pay for 100% of all medical expenses due to the limits of the policies as described below and in this website. The school cannot accept financial responsibility for any expenses due to school injuries or any expense not covered by insurance.
