Parent Emergency Procedures

In the event that there is an emergency at one of our buildings, be assured that your child(ren)'s safety and security is our number one priority. We have procedures in place to address situations to help keep our students and staff as safe and calm as possible. As a parent/guardian, you also have an active role during these events. You can help us in keeping your child(ren) safe by doing the following things:

  • Do not call or go to the school. In an emergency, onsite staff is focused solely on getting everyone to a safe location. Showing up to the site can create unnecessary traffic, prevent emergency vehicles from responding quickly, and may also put you in danger.  Regarding the phones, we understand and respect your concern, but it is essential that the telephone system be available for emergency communications.
 
  • Check the LVSD homepage, LVSD App, LVSD Facebook page, and/or our Twitter feed. We will provide credible, accurate, and useful information to the public as soon as possible. Expect to see our posts updated as necessary. We will also provide updates to local media, but be aware that emergency situations can change rapidly. Information received from sources other than representatives of the school district or first responders may be inaccurate.
 
  • In addition, we will use our phone and text notification system to contact parents and guardians with updates and information in as timely a manner as possible. Please make sure your emergency contact information is always up to date at your child's school. To update your contact information, please contact your child(ren)'s school.  
 
  • If you get a call or text from your student, help him or her remain calm. Remind your student that the school staff knows what to do in an emergency situation, and will work to keep everyone safe.
 
  • In the event of an emergency evacuation, each building has been assigned a reunification site depending on the situation. Parents will be informed of the site in a communication from the District.
