Your child's safety is our primary concern here at Parsley Elementary School. We have policies and procedures in place to do everything possible to ensure that safety. There are several ways parents can help! ** Please follow all pick-up and drop off procedures ** Transportation changes should be made only in case of an emergency! ** Follow all visitor/ volunteer procedures outlined by the front office ** Always check in the office when entering the building Fire Drills are held once a month. Tornado drills are done each year during tornado season, and lock down drills are practiced several times a year. In the event of a real emergency, the children and staff should be familiar enough with our routine that they would not necessarily know the difference between a real event and a drill. Evacuation Plan: We have an extensive evacuation plan for our students and staff in case an emergency occurs which requires that we leave the building and not return. It has been written and practiced by our staff so we can execute it quickly and efficiently. In case of an emergency, you would be notified if relocation became necessary. That is why it is essential to keep the office and your child’s teacher notified if contact information changes during the school year! If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions about Safety at Parsley, please see Mrs. Suggs.
