Student Accident Insurance

During the course of the school year, our students have many opportunities to engage in various learning activities. Specific courses such as our science and technology classes, that involve the use of tools, chemicals and machinery, and our physical education classes, that involve movement with equipment, carry a risk of injury. In addition, students participating in the interscholastic athletics program or field trips should be aware that there is a risk of injury when engaging in those activities.

Sometimes, accidents result from the nature of the activity and can occur without any fault of the student, or the School Board or its employees or agents, or the facility where the activity is taking place. The Waterloo Region District School Board does not provide any accidental disability, dismemberment, dental, death, or medical expenses or insurance on behalf of the participating students.

While participation in the program is voluntary, parents/guardians should consider the importance of acquiring student accident insurance. The insurance being offered will provide students with excellent medical and dental coverage at a reasonable cost.  Parents are asked to visit the Staebler Accident Insurance website for online subscriptions at https://www.staebler.com/student-accident-insurance.

Due to the ongoing elementary teacher negotiations our Meet the Staff Barbecue will not be taking place at this time.  We encourage all parents to contact the school to discuss any needs or questions you may have.
