EMERGENCY
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
In case of an emergency, the Superintendent
may find it necessary to close one or more schools.
This could happen at any time during the day for
one of the following reasons:
- Severe or dangerous weather
- Loss of water or electricity
- Any generally unsafe condition
When such an emergency occurs, the
Superintendent will notify local radio and television
stations of the details of an early dismissal. This
will include the status of the Extended Day Program
and the Adult Education Program. The School District will also notify parents via the Connect-Ed outbound calling service.
You as parents must assume the responsibility
for providing safe home supervision if an emergency
occurs. The following are suggestions for planning
for this situation.
- Parents should inform children of what to do
if they are sent home early.
- Parents should pre-arrange to have a neighbor
meet children at the bus stop and watch them
until they can get home.
- Parents should establish a neighborhood phone
network in the event school is dismissed early.
- Parents should develop an individual network
to use when they hear the news.
Early dismissals will occur only after
careful consideration is given to the impact on the
community and the safety and welfare of our students
