Introduction to The Standard Reunification Method
"I love u guys Foundation" Trainers
The Standard Reunification Method (SRM): One critical aspect of emergency response is an accountable reunification of students with their parent/guardian in the event of a school crisis or emergency. The Standard Reunification Method provides school safety teams methods for planning, practicing and achieving successful reunification. Site-specific considerations will impact how these practices can be integrated into school safety plans. Successful planning and implementation will also demand partnerships with all responding agencies participating in an emergency response. Separation from one's family during or after an emergency can have mental and physical effects on children. The faster children reunite with the people they know and love, the better their outcomes will be. Monroe 2-Orleans BOCEs in partnership with the T.I.G. Consortium present a county wide 2-day event starting with a half-day Summit on 10/11/23 using the "I Love U Guys” Foundation program. Suggested Audience - district/school teams to include pivotal members who would benefit from an introduction to the need and essential components.

Time: 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Location: Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES, 3599 Big Ridge Road
