Emergency Contact Information

Each of our schools will attempt to keep up to date information regarding emergency contacts for their students. Parents are strongly encouraged to help with this by providing prompt change of address information as well as up to date telephone numbers.

Your child's safety is our number one priority. With that in mind we list the following minimum requirements as well as an explanation of each need.

Please provide your school and regularly update:

• Home Phone Number
  This should be the primary phone number of the residence of the student. This number will be kept on the system to allow for prompt notification in case of emergency or inclimate weather forcing abbreviated days or cancellations.
• Cell Phone Number (These may be multiple)
  We understand that today's world is very mobile. Please provide a cell number so that you may be reached in case of emergency or inclimate weather forcing abbreviated days or cancellations.
• Phone Number of Relatives or Friends (These may be multiple)
  It is strongly urged that you provide to your school phone numbers of relatives, neighbors or friends that have your permission to pick up your child. Often when inclimate weather strikes parents find themselves stranded away from school. This is a primary and very important reason to always have a backup plan. Important to this is the secondary contact information. Please contact your school with these names and phone numbers as well as a signed letter allowing these people permission to pick up your child.
• Correct Residential Address (Primary bus pick up and drop off)
  It is important to keep your home address updated. In extreme and rare cases the SRO at the school or other personnel may need to find your home. An example of this would be in case of a bus breaking down. The school has backup plans in place to take the children home. These require good addresses.
• Secondary Residential Address (Secondary bus pick up and drop off) (These may be multiple)
  It is urged that every student have a secondary residential address. This may simply be a family member or friend your child may go to in an emergency. An example of this would be inclimate weather, and a parent not being able to get to school to get the child. It could also be in flood situations where a student can not be taken to their home. We know these are rare situations but when a child's safety is concerned all contingencies should be planned for.
