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.

In the event of illness or injury to our son/daughter/ward: born on we hereby authorize the directors of the Smith Island/Port Isobel field trip to obtain the services of a licensed practitioner and, where required, to give consent for each treatment as be necessary to the same extent and with the same effect as though we had given it ourselves.
