Emergency Procedures

Injury:

Each child is required to have all medical information and emergency release forms properly completed and on file.  Accident reports are filled out on each accident and placed in our file, with a copy sent home to the parents.  When emergency care is needed we will:

• Attempt to contact parent/guardian and call 911 if deemed necessary.

• Attempt to contact child's physician, if parent/guardian is unavailable.

• Attempt to contact persons listed on the authorization pick up list.

Any expenses incurred under the above references will be the responsibility of the parents.

In the case of any type of emergency we want to be prepared by having monthly drills on the following:

Fire Drill:

When the alarm sounds we will take the following precautions:

• Move quickly and quietly to the outside designated area for their class.

• If their class is in a specialists class, the teacher will meet them on the way.

• Teachers will take roll to be sure all children present that day are accounted for.

• Students will remain in place until all clear is announced.

Earthquake:

In case of a suspected earthquake, classrooms will take the following precautions:

• Children will take cover under their desks/tables and cover their heads with their arms.

• Teacher will stand in the doorway of the classroom.

• Children will remain under desks/tables until it is clear that any danger is past.

Lockdown:

Should a situation arise that we feel the safety of our students may be in question, we will go into a “lockdown”.  Should this happen:

• Classroom doors will be locked

• Windows will be closed and locked and blinds closed.

• Backdoor to gym stays locked.

• Children will go to the bathroom only with an adult if safe to do so.
