In the event of a serious accident or injury to a child enrolled in The Early Childhood Center at Temple Shaaray Tefila, it is the school's policy to immediately notify the parent or guardian and to call emergency medical care. It is possible that we will not be able to locate the parent or guardian immediately, therefore it is necessary to obtain parent or guardian authorization for emergency medical treatment in the parent's or guardian's absence. The authorization is kept on file, and in case of a serious accident, when the parent or guardian cannot be reached, this statement of authorization will be taken to the hospital with the child.
