In the event of illness or injury it is imperative that we are able to conform to the wishes of parents or guardians regarding the release of their child for treatment. It is MANDATORY that EMERGENCY CARDS be completed and signed for each student. Every attempt will be made to contact the parent or guardian before calling the persons listed on the card/form as emergency contacts. Your child will be released ONLY to the person listed on the emergency card/form.
If your child does not have an emergency card/form on file, or if you have changed some of your information, please contact the main office or health office to give updated information.
