Notify the 100 Elk Director of your child’s special needs and we will try to accommodate them when possible. For those who have truly unique needs, you may be asked to bring supplemental food for meals.

What if my child needs to take medication?

As with regular school enrollment, the accompanying school staff or designated adults can administer medication as required.

Are emergency services provided on property?

The staff is trained in First Aid and basic emergency response care. If there is a need to take the child off property into town for additional needs, it is the responsibility of the school and chaperones to arrange for transportation.
