Field Trips
Parents are always welcome to enjoy field trips
with their children. Parents authorize field trips
when signing the Consent to Treatment form at the beginning of the school year. Certain trips may require additional permission forms to be signed by parents and must be turned in prior to the field trip date. Children will be transported either by official school vehicles or by parents.
Medical Issues
Handicapped: We are unable to provide services for children with special medical needs.
Sick Policy: Students should not come to school if showing symptoms of illness, such as an elevated temperature, cold symptoms, stomach or head ache, or head lice.
In Case of Emergency: Parents and 911 will be called.
In Case of a Natural Disaster: Children will be at the School Library and will be taken care of until parents can arrive.
Student Insurance
Every student is insured through Adventist Risk Management. When a student is hurt during school hours the parents receive from KAP an injury report and a claim form that needs to be taken to the attending physician at the time of service. The form must be returned to the school office for reimbursement. Student insurance is effective during the current school year. The policy may not cover all of the medical service costs.

KAP is not responsible for personal items children bring to school.
Children Need the Following Personal Supplies at Preschool
