Student Accident Optional Insurance

Did you know . . .

As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for expenses for student injuries that happen on school grounds or during school activities? Your child is not insured through the school district.

You have the option of insuring your child for unexpected accidents that occur while they are at school or elsewhere. 

SD8 recommends that parents consider contacting an insurance provider or broker to find a company and a plan that suits your family’s individual needs for accident insurance. Any insurance provider or broker in your community can provide more information. You can also find consumer advice at the Insurance Council of B.C.
