Emergency Information

In the event of a major disaster (fire, earthquake, flood, chemical spill, power failure, civil disturbance) during school hours, children will be kept at school. They will be released only to previously authorized individuals. The exception would be in the event of a serious injury, when we would send the child for emergency medical care. Your child's Emergency Card is the primary document used to locate you or the people you've designated to pick up your child. Your child will NOT be released to anyone who is not on this emergency card. It is imperative that your child's Emergency Card be kept current and accurate. Please contact the school if there are any changes.

Telephone systems quickly become overloaded in an emergency, so please DO NOT CALL  the school. Instead, come to school or send a person from your emergency card to pick up your child. Check your local radio and  television stations for information during local disasters and emergencies. Mark your local radio station on your radio's dial. Your child should be made familiar with these stations and their roles in local emergencies.
