With the children’s safety and well being in mind, it is most important that parents complete an Emergency Transportation Form that will be kept on file in the Latchkey Program. In the event of an emergency that requires the child/children being transported, this form will allow them to be transported. This form also gives permission for medical treatment from the facility chosen by the parent.
