Communication |
• Information will be provided through automated phone, text and email messages, District or school websites, and local TV broadcast - depending on the circumstances of the emergency. • During an emergency, students may not have access to a personal cell phone. |
At Home |
• Ensure personal safety first; your child will be cared for at school until you arrive. • Walk to school if possible; streets may be unsafe or dangerous to navigate. • Leave a note at home indicating destination and time left; others may look for you. |
: At School |
• The primary role of a school is the safety and welfare of the children; school is one of the safest places for students to be during an emergency. • School personnel are required by law to remain on duty for the duration of an emergency. • LAUSD schools have a 3-day supply of water, food, and other emergency supplies. |
Items to Bring |
• Driver's license or other photo identification. • Cell phone (for updates). • Medical information and medication, if applicable. |
Arrival at School |
• Prepare to arrive calm, patient, and ready to follow school personnel directions; encourage others to do the same. • Expect to wait outside the school until all students are accounted for and staff begins the student release process. |
Student Release Process |
• Students will be released in an orderly manner, to ensure safety and properly account for all students. • Parents and emergency card designees will line up at the Request Gate to inform staff which children they are picking up. • Staff will match names of parents/designees to names on the emergency card pick-up list. Only those listed on the emergency card will be allowed to pick up students. • Parents/designees will sign children out at the Reunion Gate. |
