What can you do to help?

• Contact us immediately if you observe or become aware of any potential safety or security concerns.
• Keep your emergency contact information current with the school Guidance office.
• Review safety precautions with your children at home.
• If a real emergency ever occurs, please follow directions provided to you to reconnect with your child.  Emergency and school officials may need to make decisions to ensure safety and preserve order.  In some situations, students may be transported to alternate locations or released to you at a specific location.
