SCHOOL SAFETY
Emergency Drills We Practice
Evacuations
Students and staff practice how to quickly and safely leave the building during emergencies such as a fire or facility hazard.
Shelter-in-Place
In the event of an external threat, such as a chemical or radiological incident, students and staff learn how to stay safely indoors.
Hall Checks & Lockdowns
When there is an immediate threat of violence, such as a weapon on campus, students and staff practice securing classrooms and buildings.
Student-Parent Reunification
In cases where evacuation leads to an alternate site, we ensure families are safely reunite
Tips for Parents During an Emergency
01
Be Patient
The first few minutes of an emergency can be chaotic. Reliable information takes time to gather, and we’ll share updates as soon as possible.
02
Keep Communications Short
If you need to contact your child, text instead of calling. Long phone calls may prevent your child from hearing life-saving instructions. Teach your child to send short, helpful messages like “I am safe” or “We’re being evacuated.”
03
Rely on Official Updates
Initial reports can be inaccurate. Always refer to updates from official district sources for accurate and reliable information.
