The Importance of Student Accident Insurance
At Bluewater District School Board, the safety of our students is of utmost importance. Our policies and procedures are developed to minimize risk to students.
Our Foundations for Learning document includes the following Beliefs statement:
"The Bluewater standard of excellence can be attained when a love of learning is shared by adults and students. We believe in: QUALITY, EQUITY, PARTNERSHIPS, ACCOUNTABILITY, and a SAFE ENVIRONMENT." |

However, accidents can and do happen, which can result in injuries involving dental, medical, and other expenses not covered under the provincial health care plan.
Bluewater District School Board does not provide accident insurance for students, but does make available a Student Accident Insurance Plan through Reliable Life.
Please watch for the enrolment package for Student Accident Insurance which will be sent home with students during the first week of school.
The Reliable Life Insurance accident coverage is made available to parents, at low cost, to provide benefits for dental injuries and other accidents which may occur through participating in sports and other activities.
The basic insurance can be purchased for as little as $3.50/year to cover accidents which occur during school hours.
Dental injuries account for approximately 75% of all claims and many dental plans cover only 50% of the cost of repairs for accidental damage to teeth.
By participating in this important insurance, parents can ensure that the high cost of dental repairs following an accident will be covered.
All students participating in extra-curricular sports are encouraged to carry this insurance.
