Updated Emergency Student Release Procedures

Updated Emergency Student Release Procedures

During an active emergency, staff members are prioritized to enact critical safety procedures, which require their full focus and attention. It’s important to note that all Emergency Operation Procedures (EOP) include a student release plan. However, please understand that reaching the student release portion of the EOP may take some time and typically falls towards the end of the EOP. Please review our emergency student release procedure as follows:

• During an emergency or security threat, parents/guardians and emergency contacts will be directed to a student release location to pick up students

• This might be a location other than the school office

• Parents/caregivers must wait at the student release location until staff are available to start releasing students

• Students will be released to parents/guardians or emergency contacts only - we will no longer take phone calls or email requests to release students to other contacts

• Please have a photo ID ready

Update Your Emergency Contacts

If student release procedures are enacted, students will be released to parents/guardians or the emergency contacts listed in Aeries only, with a valid photo ID. We will no longer take phone calls or emails to release students to other contacts. Please take a few minutes to update your emergency contacts in Aeries to add any additional adults who are authorized to pick up your child in the event of an emergency. This includes older siblings, family members, friends, or other parents.
