Recent illnesses, etc.

Although they rarely occur, emergencies can arise whereby immediate action is required to preserve the health and welfare of the student. The agreement set forth below is designed to protect both students and chaperons in the event an emergency arises which requires immediate action parents would take if they were present.

The director of the trip will inform and consult with parents should an emergency situation arise.

PERMISSION FOR EMERGENCY TREATMENT

This will prevent a dangerous delay in case an emergency arises whereby hospitalization and/or surgery may be required and it may be impossible to contact the parent or guardian immediately.
