Parents and guardians are responsible for expenses related to student injuries on school premises or during school activities. Accidents can and do happen and the costs involved might not be fully covered by Provincial health care or employer group insurance plans.

The Upper Grand District School Board is empowered under The Education Act to offer Accident and Life Insurance for students.

A letter from the Upper Grand District School Board letter will be sent home with students containing information with respect to two Programs available for the purchase of Student Accident Insurance.  The Insuremykids Program is offered through Old Republic Insurance Company of Canada and the Studyinsured Program is underwritten by Certain Lloyds’s Underwriters through AON Insurance.

Each program offers a variety of options, including family rates at affordable prices. The cost must be paid by the parent or guardian.  Paper copies of the application are no longer available.  Purchase is done directly on line or by contacting the Provider:

Insure My Kids or call toll free 1-800-463-5437

Study Insured Student Accident or call toll free 1-833-560-0527.

 For today’s active children, especially those who participate in field trips, co-curricular and other school activities outside the school day, Student Accident Insurance is valuable.
