Open enrollment for the voluntary (parent-paid) coverage began on 8/1/2026.


Dear Parents/Guardians,
Because medical costs can be expensive, Alpena Public Schools does provide families the opportunity to purchase student accident insurance on their student through Student Assurance Servies, Inc.

This supplemental policy would assist with your out-of-pocket medical expenses (i.e. deductible) should your student sustain an accidental injury while coverage is in effect. Also, if you do not have any insurance on your student, this would be primary for accidental injuries. There is a variety of coverage options and premiums are a one-time payment for the school year.

Please review the short video link below as well as the attached forms regarding student accident insurance.

MICHIGAN STANDARDIZED RESPONSE TERMINOLOGY
Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, the following terminology must be utilized by public schools, nonpublic schools, and local law enforcement agencies in response to certain situations that occur in or at a school building operated by the public school or nonpublic school.
Standardized Response Terminology (SRT)
HOLD – Must be used when students need to be kept in a specific location to allow school staff and first responders unencumbered access to hallways and other areas of a school building to respond to an incident.
SECURE – Must be used when it is determined that a lockdown is not necessary but heightened security is needed because of a potential external threat. Under secure mode, instruction may continue in a normal manner, but access to the school building, movement throughout the building, and student activities must be limited or monitored.
LOCKDOWN – Must be used when there is an existing threat in or at a school building or a threat is expected to arrive there imminently.
EVACUATE – Must be used when students and school staff need to move rapidly but systematically from one area to another where they can be protected from a threat.
SHELTER – Must be used when conditions are safer inside a school building than they are outside the building. These conditions include certain severe weather conditions or hazardous materials incidents that are in close proximity to the school building.
