Student Accident Insurance
The enrolment packages for Student Accident Insurance will be sent home with students during the first week of school.
Parents are reminded of the importance of purchasing Student Accident Insurance. The Board does not carry accident insurance for students. Student Accident Insurance through Reliable Life Insurance 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 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.
Listed at right is the letter sent home to parents each September as well as a sampling of claims paid or payable under a Student Accident Insurance Policy.
