School Disaster Plan
All school staff and students participate in regularly scheduled (and unscheduled) fire and earthquake drills. The School Disaster Plan is available in the school office for review. Please notify the office with any updates to Emergency information on your students emergency card. In the event of an actual earthquake or emergency, the following procedures will be implemented:
- Students will be released to authorized adults only, as indicated on the Emergency Card.
- Students will be released only at the circular driveway in back of the school.
- Students should be signed out at the release point before they are picked up.
- Parents should develop an emergency plan with their student(s) and other authorized adults in the event of parent unavailability during a crisis.
- In the case of a severe disaster, the school will keep students until released or assumed by another authority.
- Students will not be allowed to activate/use cell phones during an emergency until notified by the police department.
