Emergency Evacuation Including Earthquake and Natural Disasters
1. The school will follow its written Emergency and Natural Disaster Plan.
2. Students will not be dismissed from school unless signed out by a parent, or designated individual on the student’s signed Emergency Contact Form. There will be no exception. If your family’s Emergency Contact Form, signed and submitted at the beginning of each school year, needs to be updated, please contact the front office. Your family’s SchoolSpeak profiles will need to be updated, and a new Emergency Contact Form will need to be printed, signed, and submitted to the front office.
3. The school will communicate with local emergency services and will care for children in critical situations.
4. DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL. Telephone lines must be kept open for emergency calls and communications with emergency preparedness teams.
5. Emergency notifications will be sent out through SchoolSpeak SMS system. Please ensure your mobile carrier information is accurate in your SchoolSpeak profile. Data rates may apply. These notifications will alert parents to the evacuation location and specific pick-up instructions. Emergency Pick-Up will either be from the gym, the Pierce parking lot or off-campus at Alta Plaza Park.
a. Find street parking, away from campus or evacuation site to allow for emergency vehicle access.
b. Walk to designated pick-up location.
c. Approach the Student Release Station (station location to be given in emergency notification).
d. Properly sign out your child for release.
All parents or designated individuals who are picking up a student must first go to the Student Release Station. School staff will direct parents or designated individuals to that station where the child may be signed out.
