Don't Forget to Fill Out Your Student's Emergency Card

Each student must have an emergency contact card on file in their school office.

The full name and phone number of three friends, relatives, or neighbors other than the parent or guardian who can act on the parent's behalf in an emergency are required as well as the student's address and phone number. Emergency cards are to be completed at the beginning of the school year (or when a student enrolls during the year).

All information concerning a doctor, practitioner, or hospital emergency room must be filled in and signed by a parent or guardian. Authorization is also required to permit the school to obtain immediate medical attention in emergency situations. Any changes or additions in address, phone number, emergency contacts, and places of employment should be reported to the school as soon as possible to ensure that information is current at all times.
