Insurance is a requirement for many aspects of business. Rocky View Schools maintains appropriate insurance to manage and mitigate business and operations risks.
The following provides details regarding available accident and travel insurance options for students and staff, as well as insurance coverage for school councils and societies.
Accident Insurance
Blanket insurance is purchased by RVS for injury sustained by a atudent, visitor, volunteer or staff member (not covered by WCB) during the course of a school day while under the supervision of RVS. It is provided at no cost; however, these benefits are supplemental to personal family benefits. The plan summary is below Please contact busops@rockyview.ab.ca for claims forms.
Enhanced Accident Insurance for Students
RVS has arranged for enhanced student accident insurance, which provides additional accident insurance (parents to pay). This insurance helps families stay financially protected against unexpected expenses arising from their childrens’ accidents.
There are three packages to choose from; they can be purchased at any time during the school year. See the website or Compare Plans - Study Insured Student Accident for the rates and additional information.
School Society Insurance
In accordance with Administrative Procedure AP112 – School Societies and RVS, it is recommended that school societies operating as separate entities from RVS obtain insurance to protect themselves, and the school division, from liability. To that end, RVS has worked with its broker to arrange for a policy that provides coverage to meet the specific and unique needs of school societies. The policy below is one option for insurance available to school societies; however, societies are welcome to seek out quotes from other insurers/brokers as well.
