2016 Voluntary Student Accident Insurance Program
Risk Management is assuming responsibility for the Voluntary Student Accident
Insurance process. This program is available to Canadian students and parents of the
Surrey School District on a voluntary basis. We would like to ensure that parents are
informed of the many benefits of this program and we need your assistance in getting
the word out.
Risk Management, with the assistance of LRS, will distribute the Student Accident
information to schools. The information package is available in hard copy and
electronically. Below is a timeline of key dates and what to expect to ensure the
program rolls out without a hitch.
Timeline
 Mid-April, we will be contacting each school, asking for the projected numbers of
forms they wish to receive. These forms should be sent home to parents late
August or early September. We are aware some schools communicate with
parents electronically, however we recommend having a supply of packages at
the office for those parents without access to a computer.
 Mid-May we will send you a paragraph introducing the Student Accident
Insurance and letting parents know to watch for more information in the fall. This
Paragraph can be inserted into your end of year newsletter and posted on your
website.
 Early August we will be sending you a one page document about Accident
Insurance, a benefit summary and a premium page. These documents can be
inserted into your home mailing and/or posted on your school’s website. We will
include a shorter version suitable for inclusion in your newsletter.
 Mid-August we will be providing the Electronic version of the form to be sent out
to parents the end of August/first week of September. It will be sent to all
schools mailbox and include the attachments and links to the Student Accident
website. The hard copy forms will be delivered to the school office.
We appreciate your participation in distributing Kids Plus Student Accident Insurance
information. With your help we can offer our parents the opportunity to provide their
family with insurance coverage in the event of an accident.
If you have any questions or would like more information please contact the Risk
Management Department at the number below.
