Meadows Elementary Parents’ Guide Disaster Emergency Plan
In the event of a disaster, please follow the guidelines below:
AT SCHOOL:
- School is the safest place for students during an emergency. Recently
modernized buildings meet stringent public safety codes.
- Primary role of school – to care for the safety and welfare of the children.
- School personnel are trained to follow procedures, give instruction and guidance
to students, and are required by law to remain on duty during an emergency.
AT HOME:
- Insure your personal safety first. Children will be cared for until your
arrival.
- Remember: the need for safety outweighs the need for speed.
- Prepare to arrive calm, patient, and ready to follow school personnel
directions. Encourage other parents to do the same.
- If possible, walk to school. Streets may be clogged with emergency vehicles.
- Leave a note at home indicating when you left and where you went. Others may be
looking for you.
- Do not call the school. Phone lines will be used by emergency personnel only
and must remain open at all times.
The MBUSD emergency number is 318-7345 x 5903. Also, check your e-mail.
Those of you on the Principal’s E-List will find information there.
ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL:
