Reunification Plan

Reunification Plan

We prioritize the safety of your children in our care. Our diligent efforts encompass preparedness for various emergency scenarios, including fires, gas leaks, severe weather, and security breaches. Throughout the school year, we conduct drills to ensure we are well-prepared.

Entrance to the Energy FieldhouseRecently, our focus has been on the reunification aspect of our emergency plans, which involves parents/guardians picking up their children after an emergency. In the event of an emergency, students would be safely evacuated to designated rally points. From there, our school buses would transport them to the reunification location, which is the Energy Fieldhouse at 101 Yellow Jacket Drive for all our schools.

Energy Fieldhouse is the exclusive reunification point for our six elementary, middle, and high schools.  Our reunification location is the ONLY place students may be picked up to prevent road blockages and ensure access for emergency personnel. In such situations, parents/guardians would receive notifications to proceed to Energy Fieldhouse for student pickup. Please remember to carry photo identification for verification. One very important part of reunification is making sure that students are picked up by the correct guardian.  Students will only be released to a person listed in their record as having permission to pick up that student at school.  It's crucial to update your contact information in the parent portal whenever there are changes.

Upon arrival at Energy Fieldhouse, a greeter will direct parents with last names A - M to the north locker room entrance and those with last names N - Z to the south locker room entrance, where clear signage will be posted. In the locker room, you will present your identification to a checker who will verify your permission to pick up the student. Afterward, you'll be guided to the gym area to reunite with your student(s) and exit together.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. We've invested considerable time and effort to create a secure and comprehensive emergency plan. Your cooperation is invaluable, and we urge you to help make this plan run efficiently. We will be providing updated information on our safety procedures on this website.
