Every school is required to complete a number of safety drills each year. Currently, we have completed a fire drill, and our lockdown/shelter drill. Our teachers have reviewed and discussed a variety of drills with our students and showed them the School Safety and Security Video (K-5). The website for the Department of Systemwide Safety and Security provides multiple resources on emergency preparedness and safety for families, students, and staff. Please feel free to review the videos and resources again with your child(ren) to avoid any undue anxiety.
Families can authorize other people to pick up their child(ren) by emailing their requests to Yaya Cinada and Amanda Hurtado, the attendance registrar. At the beginning of each school year, the system enables families to update their Emergency Contact information in their ParentVUE account.
On Friday, October 11th we will conduct our Parent Child Reunification Drill. PCR drills are planned exercises designed to prepare schools, students, and caregivers for the purpose of reuniting students with their families following an emergency or crisis situation. We are looking for families that are interested in participating in the drill by picking up their child(ren) between 2:00 to 3:00 on October 11th. If you are interested in participating in the PCR drill please come to the school on the 11th, and please note the following:
Our goal is to safely return every child to either his/her/their caregiver or someone who was listed on the emergency forms by the parent as approved.
All adults MUST HAVE A PHOTO ID (ie. state ID). We will only release children to adults that are authorized and are cleared once photo identification (driver's license or passport) is presented.
Cars MUST be parked in the neighborhood. The parking lots will not be available as the lot areas will need to be cleared for any emergency vehicles needed.
The main entrance will not be utilized.
The reunification process will begin at the entrance to the cafeteria and the line will wrap around the building towards the sliding glass doors. Please note only 15 adults will be allowed to enter the cafeteria at a time.
When adults are cleared to enter the cafeteria, they will be directed to a table line (ie. table 1, table 2, table 3) Adults may request their own child(ren) and anyone else they are assigned to pick up (adults MUST be pre-approved and on that child’s emergency sheet).
Adults will receive an index card showing who they are authorized to pick up.
Adults will take their index card and transition to the gym to meet their child(ren).
Once the unification is complete with adult and child(ren), they will exit the building from the gym. No one will not be permitted to return to the building upon exiting.
