  • Emergency Release of Students

    Release of students in grades K-8, other than the regularly scheduled hours, is prohibited unless a parent/guardian or another authorized responsible person has been notified and has assumed responsibility for the child. Students in grades 9-12 may be released without such notification if the Principal or designee determines that the child is reasonably responsible and notification is not practical.

    ·       The Principal will contact the Superintendent/designee for authorization to cancel school or close school early.

    ·       When a decision is made, the Principal will notify their Network Director and the District Executive Director of Communications and Community Relations.

    ·       The Principal will determine and communicate the pick-up point or alternate pick up point for bus drivers and parents/guardians. The Principal will relay this information as soon as possible to the Transportation Manager.

    ·       The Principal will notify Network Directors Services to arrange for bus transportation and Food Service support as needed.

    ·       If cancellation or closure is approved, the Principal will initiate the School Messenger plan to contact as many parents and authorized guardians as possible using email, robocall, text alert, etc., and the school calling tree. Principal will work with the Executive Director of Communications to determine whether social media and/or the school or district website should also be used to communicate.
