Meaningful Minimum: Take This Timely Step!
🚨This week’s action: Ensure your child’s safety by updating your emergency contact information in our student information system. Double-check that anyone authorized to pick up your child is listed as an emergency contact.
The safety and well-being of students, staff, and visitors is top priority. Our district has a dedicated Emergency Response Team and each school has its own Building Emergency Response Team. We use a Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method from the “I Love U Guys” Foundation. In the event of an emergency, families will receive communication via text, phone and email.
By doing this small but meaningful task, you’re helping us keep your child safe and ensuring a smooth process in case of emergencies. If you can't access your account, submit a request for tech help. Thank you for partnering with us!
