New friends, memories and knowledge to last a lifetime are just part of what your child will experience at the QuarkNet workshop on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University this summer.

Whether or not this is your son's or daughter's first time away from home, we know you still worry.  What happens if he or she gets sick or injured and you can't be reached right away?

At Indiana University, we share your concern.  That's why we ask that you fill out this form and return it as soon as possible to the QurarkNet lead teachers.  If he or she gets sick or injured, this form provides vital medical information.  It does not mean that every effort won't be made to contact you first, but it does mean that your child can still be treated quickly even if you can't be reached.

Remember, this form will probably never be used.  Safety is our number one priority at IU, especially where children are concerned.  Peace of mind is worth the few minutes it takes to complete this form.  Please do it today, and then relax while your child looks forward to a special week at IU.
