• INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR YOUR CHILD'S 2024/2025 SCHOOL YEAR

    Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):

    The safety of our students is of critical importance in the Buckeye Union School District.  Even so, accidents can and do happen while participating in activities that take place on campus, on school trips, and during extra-curricular activities and sports, and required medical care can be expensive. Please know that your school does not assume responsibility for such costs but does offer you access to several student accident insurance plans for voluntary purchase. Details can be found in the digital brochures available on the District website at www.buckeyeusd.org under Parent Resources > Student Insurance.  Hard copies are also available in school offices.

    Options are available to cover your child 24/7, anywhere in the world or you can limit coverage to school-related injuries only. The plans do not restrict your choice of doctors or hospitals. However, you’ll also have access to an extensive network of providers with discounted fees. Seeking care through contracted providers may further reduce your out-of-pocket costs, particularly if your child needs surgery or hospitalization. 

    Also offered is the pay-as-you-go Student Accident & Sickness Plan which covers sickness as well as injury, in and out of school. The Dental Accident plan can be of particular value with younger students as final treatment to injured teeth often needs to be deferred until after they mature.

    You are strongly encouraged to carefully review the information. If your child already has health coverage, the student insurance plans offered can also be used to expand your choice of providers and help cover the high deductibles and 30% to 40% cost-sharing obligations imposed by many health plans today.

    To enroll, please visit www.myers-stevens.com; instructions for enrollment are available on the website. While your child is eligible to enroll at any time, one-time-pay rates for the accident medical plans and Dental Accident Plan are the same regardless of enrollment date. As such, you are encouraged to consider enrollment now in order to include coverage for this summer and the upcoming school year. Once processing is completed, an ID card verifying coverage will be mailed home to you.

    If you have any questions concerning the coverages available or need help with enrollment, please call the plan administrator, Myers-Stevens & Toohey Co., Inc. at (800) 827-4695. Bilingual representatives are available for parents who need assistance in Spanish.

    Sincerely,

    David Roth, Ph.D., Superintendent
