It is supplemental insurance, intended to provide protection beyond a person’s personal insurance. Therefore, you must first file a claim with your family insurance coverage. Additional coverages may be purchased for extended coverages.

SCHOOL BREAKFAST/LUNCH & WELLNESS POLICY The Wolf Point School District is committed to providing school environments that promote and protect children’s health, well-being, and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity. The Wolf Point School District #45-45A serves nutritious breakfasts and lunches every day. Students must eat at the buildings where they are enrolled and no eating in building they are not enrolled in. The wellness policy can be located on the district’s website at www.wolfpointschools.org under Our District – District Policy Manual.

FOOD ALLERGIES Food allergies are very common in children. Generally, children with food allergies or intolerances do not have a disability as defined under either Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act or Part B of IDEA, and the school food service may, but is not required to, make food substitutions for them. However, when in the licensed physician’s assessment, food allergies may result in severe, life-threatening (anaphylactic) reactions, the child’s condition would meet the definition of “disability,” and the substitutions prescribed by the licensed physician must be made. If your student has a food allergy that constitutes a “disability,” please inform the School Nutrition Program by calling the secretaries at each school.
