Parent or Guardian Release

Risk management is an essential element of all the activities we offer, and we observe standard precautions. We conduct our programs according to practices and procedures recommended by professional organizations in the field of Outdoor Education. I realize that no environment is risk free, and as such I have instructed my child on the importance of abiding by rules defined by the group leaders, and they agree that they will obey the Litchfield Montessori School’s rules and the rules of the group leaders.

I understand the Litchfield Montessori School can not safeguard against all potential injuries. In view of the foregoing, the undersigned voluntarily assumes the risk of injury that may result from participation in any program activity and herewith releases Litchfield Montessori School, its staff members, and Board of Trustees from all liability for any injury caused by, or resulting from, participation in program activities.

Administration of Medications & Permission to Seek Medical Treatment

Prescription or over the counter medications provided to the school in advance will be administered according to documented physician’s instructions only if the parent provides written consent. In the case of severe illness or emergency I hereby _____ Litchfield Montessori School staff permission to treat my son or daughter to the standard of care for which they are trained. I also _____  Litchfield Montessori School faculty and staff permission to seek medical attention on behalf of my son or daughter until the parent or guardian can be contacted and assume responsibility for the child’s medical treatment.

Permission to Travel with Volunteer Drivers

I understand that my child will be transported in a private vehicle that will be driven by either a staff member or a parent volunteer. All volunteer drivers have passed a full FBI background check. Each driver has signed the Volunteer Driver Agreement, in which they assume responsibility for specific license, insurance and vehicle requirements and in which they assume responsibility and liability for any incident that occurs while transporting students off school property.
