Voluntary Student Accident Insurance Program

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Each year the District provides parents with an economical option to purchase a student accident insurance policy to cover student accidents either at school or for a 24-hour/7 days/week coverage period (flyer with instructions on reverse side). To help minimize the parent’s exposure to out-of-pocket medical expenses (deductibles, co-payments etc.) from student accidental injuries both at school and even away from school, the District has competitively solicited a very affordable low-cost optional student accident insurance for parents to purchase. The accident plan is a low ONE-TIME, per child, per school year payment of ONLY $15.00 for the entire school year.

This policy can provide valuable insurance coverage for parents that either do not have insurance or wish to supplement an existing medical insurance plan.  This policy is secondary coverage for students who are already covered by a family policy but shall be primary coverage for the students who have no other insurance coverage. Parents purchasing the “at school” policy are covered while at school or while attending any curricular, co-curricular or other school function as a participant under school sponsorship and supervision; and while being transported by approved district transportation. The “24-hour” policy protects students 24 hours per day including the time spent in school or away and even on the weekends and the basic plan only cost $65.00 for the entire school year. The District recommends the purchase of this optional insurance at the beginning of each school year or when a new student enrolls during the year since the coverage ends July 31, 2026 regardless of the date of enrollment.

Additional Optional Coverage Plans are also available for parents to purchase for a very affordable annual premium as shown.   If you have a need to purchase primary coverage the following resources may be available to you:
