Unfortunately, there is always the possibility of an accident occurring to a student at school or while participating in
an after-school activity. In case an accident should occur, the school and/or the UIL does not assume
responsibility. Nevertheless, if an accident should occur, a discretionary judgment will be made by a school
representative in regard to the student’s need for immediate care and treatment. Therefore, I do herby request,
authorize, and consent to such care and treatment as may be given to the said student by and physician, trainer,
nurse or school representative. As well, I do hereby agree to indemnify and save harmless the school and any
school representative from any claim by any person whomsoever on account of such care and treatment of the said
student.
Between this date and the end of the school year, illness or injury could occur that may limit the student’s
participation, I agree to notify the school authorities of such illness or injury.
