Emergency Release Day May 14
https://division4.ca/emergencyreleaseday
- From a previous Emergency Release Day:
- Please plan to evacuate from the area until the drill is completed (3:00 p.m.). It is important that this drill is done properly and that we are able to assess our pace and completion rate, which will be difficult to do if the grounds are still filled with people who have already completed the drill.
- Please keep in mind that we are practicing a process that is designed to prepare us should an emergency situation occur. This process includes documenting and tracking the release of each student.
- Emergency Contact form:
- Often a responsible adult that is named in this document is different than an ’emergency contact’ that may be listed in school records.
- This individual should live nearby, preferably within walking distance, and be able to pick up your child in the event of an emergency release situation. Such an individual may be a neighbour or parent/guardian from the school, for example.
- Note from me: I typically recommend to connect with other families before or after school so you can add each other as an emergency contact, or so that they have ‘pick up’ permission, and can watch your child at the playground while you’re stuck in traffic.
