DISTRICT SAFETY PLAN AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

The district's safety plan identifies security programs and measures that focus on prevention, intervention, and crisis response.

• Learn about the Standard Response Protocol (Spanish) for responding to school emergencies.
• Learn about the Standard Reunification Method (Spanish) for picking up students during events related to school emergencies.
• Learn about our process for deciding on weather-related school closures. 

Safety Messages - getting the word out

Our district and schools use our Facebook and Twitter channels to disseminate urgent and emergency messages to the community - be sure to follow us! Additionally, we use the SchoolMessenger Communicate system to message parents about safety-related issues, among other things, via email, text, and sometimes phone.

The SchoolMessenger system uses what you, as a parent or guardian, enter into the Infinite Campus Online Registration system for contact information. Therefore, it is vital families ensure this information is always up to date.
