Student Accident Insurance Coverage for D-T Students
Doniphan-Trumbull Public School does not provide any type of health or accident insurance for injuries incurred by your child at school. We encourage all families to have accident coverage on their children prior to participation in any interscholastic sports or if a family's current primary health insurance has a high deductible, co-insurance, and/or limitation on medical benefits.
We understand that you, as parents, are best placed to decide on the adequacy of your primary health coverage for your child. If you feel it is sufficient, then no further action is required.
If you are interested in the optional insurance you can apply online at www.sas-mn.com or grab a packet in the front office to send in. New this year, the Student Assurance Services has an online option to enroll in the student accident insurance plan. Any questions, please call the school at 402-845-2282.
