Student Emergencies
It is important that we have up-to-date telephone numbers for each parent and the telephone numbers of two other people authorized to act for you, the parent, as well as the names and telephone numbers of your child’s doctor and dentist. If it becomes necessary to contact parents for an emergency situation such as an illness or injury this information is critical so that we may act in the best interest of your child.

**Please update this information immediately whenever a change has been made. Children are strongly encouraged to memorize parents phone numbers for emerging purposes.
