Emergency Communication with Families

During Event:

The District will provide families with accurate information about a situation as quickly as possible.  This communication will occur when the school emergency occurs and again when the emergency is resolved or information has changed.  The District will utilize our phone, email and messaging system to contact families utilizing the phone numbers and email addresses provided to the school and available in our student information system.  For this reason, it is important to always update the school regarding a change in phone number or email address for yourself or anyone listed as an emergency contact.  Based on the situation, the District may also utilize its website, Facebook and other social media accounts to provide information.  (Click here to update school contact information)

While it is important for us to quickly update parents, it is also important that the information we send is accurate.  Please be aware that emergency situations are fluid and always changing, and that information received from non-District sources such as the news media and social media may be inaccurate.

After Event:

In some instances, the District will send a factual notice to families regarding the day, time, duration and reason for the lockdown or evacuation.  The notice may include other information as appropriate such as lunch changes, transportation adjustments and extra-curricular modifications.  When possible, these letters will be sent home with students following an emergency situation and/or posted on the district website and social media pages.
