6. EMERGENCY FORM
This is not part of the travel release. The names provided on the form are for the purpose of contacting an adult in the event the parent or legal guardian(s) cannot be reached. For example, if your child has to be transported to the hospital and we can't reach you, we would use the form for a designated contact person.
