South Platte Public Schools

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Because medical costs can be expensive, South Platte Public Schools does provide families the opportunity to purchase student accident insurance on their student through Student Assurance Services, Inc.

This supplemental policy would assist with your out-of-pocket medical expenses (i.e. deductible) should your student sustain an accidental injury while coverage is in effect. Also, if you do not have any insurance on your student, this would be primary for accidental injuries. There is a variety of coverage options and premiums are a one-time payment for the school year.

Please review the short video link below as well as the attached forms regarding student accident insurance.

Families may enroll online by visiting our website at www.sas-mn.com.

If you have any questions about this coverage, please contact Student Assurance Services directly at (800) 328-2739.

Mrs. Cross and the 8th-grade science class have been working on paper roller coasters to apply their knowledge of energy and energy transfer. Great work!
