How You Can Help
If you learn of a situation at school through student text messages/phone calls or media reports, please check the District/school website for information regarding the situation. The District does not post any information until it has been fact checked and verified.
Be aware that all media reports/tweets and other social media posts are not always fact checked before being published.
Please check the District/school website and/or social sites for information instead of calling school. It is important that phone lines remain available for school personnel to stay in contact with law enforcement, first responders and the District’s response team.
Remain close to your sources of communication, whether phone or email, to ensure you are receiving accurate and timely updates from the District.
Please do not drive to school as this will only increase safety concerns for yourself and disrupt our safety protocols for students. In addition, if the building is in “secure mode,” parents will not be able to enter the building and students will not be allowed to leave.
Evacuations
In situations where students may need to be evacuated from school, it is possible that the students will return to school and normal bus service will resume. If students are sent to a reunification site, parents will receive information regarding the location and pick up protocols. Remember, a student can only be released to an adult who is documented as an emergency contact, and identification will be required at the reunification site. If you are a non-custodial parent, you must be listed with your child’s emergency contact information as a guardian and show proper identification.
