INSURANCE (STUDENT)

A Student Insurance program is available; however, RCS offers no assurances regarding the coverage. It will be necessary to have an individual check for each child. The check for student insurance must be made payable to the INSURANCE COMPANY and NOT to Rantoul City Schools. A separate check (from that being used for Registration Fee) is necessary for the insurance.

RCS has approved a medical and dental accident insurance plan worthy of your consideration to add to coverage purchased. This coverage will extend the hours your child is covered and also may cover your child during certain activities not covered in the school purchased plan. We urge you to consider the benefits described in this brochure.

OPTIONAL 24-HOUR ACCIDENT COVERAGE (EXTENSION) – Insurance coverage is extended to provide for covered injuries that occur other than during the hours and days when school is in session and/or while attending or participating in school sponsored and supervised activities on or off school premises. The Extended Accident Coverage provides coverage during the weekends and vacation periods, including the entire summer. No coverage is provided for participation in interscholastic tackle football. No coverage is provided for participating in Interscholastic Sports or school sponsored/supervised activities covered under the Student Accident Insurance Program purchased by the school.
