School Safety is our Priority
Providing a safe and secure environment for our students to learn is the top priority of SouthWest Metro Intermediate District 288. We've taken measures to ensure our staff and students are prepared in the event a crisis situation occurs in or near one of our buildings.
A comprehensive Crisis Management Plan has been created to guide our staff through a wide variety of situations, including, but not limited to:
- Missing child
- Bomb or chemical threats
- Medical emergencies
- Intruders
- Gun violence
- Weather emergencies
Our staff is committed to preventing crisis situations by working closely to build relationships with students, creating a climate of respect and acceptance, and taking swift and fair discipline action when necessary.
What parents need to know during a crisis:
In most situations, the school building is the safest place a student can be. Every effort will be made to keep students safely in the building until they can be reunited with parents.
Your cooperation is needed. In the event of an emergency:
DO
- Visit the district website for information and updates about the crisis.
- Go to the parent/student reunification site and wait to be reunited with your child(ren).
DO NOT
- A
ttempt to enter the school unless directed by safety personnel.
- Call the school. Phone lines will be needed for emergency communication.
Information will be posted online and will be sent via the School Messenger system.
