EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY WHERE YOU NEED TO PICK-UP YOUR CHILD:
„«	Come to the main office and give the office staff your name and 
remain in the lobby
„«	Office personnel will contact your child¡¦s homeroom and have the 
child come to the office
„«	Emergency numbers which you have provided will be used to make 
contact

IN CASE OF A LOCK DOWN (Biological or Chemical incident))  
ALSO SHELTER IN PLACE„«	No one would be permitted to enter or exit the 
building as opening doors could jeopardize the safety of the students and 
school personnel
„«	Pick-up would take place when the local authorities determine the 
area to be safe

SHOULD THE NATURE OF THE CRISIS BE SUCH THAT THE CHILDREN WOULD NEED TO BE 
MOVED FROM OUR SCHOOL TO ANOTHER FACILTY, PLEASE LISTEN TO THE RADIO/WATCH 
TV TO LEARN DETAILS.  PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH COMLEY SCHOOL 
AND OTHER NEARBY HIGH SCHOOLS.  THE ONE TO BE USED WOULD BE DETERMINED BY 
THE TYPE OF CRISIS TAKING PLACE.
