SAFETY MISSION
|
Chalkville
Elementary School is committed to providing a safe environment in which students
can focus on learning to their fullest potential. Chalkville Elementary has
developed a Crisis Management Plan which focuses on intervention/prevention and
emergency preparedness planning and response. This plan is designed to meet all
requirements of the Alabama State Department of Education Comprehensive School
Safety Plan.
In the event of
an emergency and to ensure the safety of every student, the parents and
guardians are asked to follow these guidelines:
·
Do not telephone the school. The phones will be needed to make
calls to emergency, news, and support services.
·
Parents are asked to follow the dismissal rules and guidelines
that will be in place in the event of an emergency. Do not attempt to remove
your child from their classroom. We must be able to account for each student
and who they are released to. Each emergency situation is different and the
dismissal procedures will vary.
·
It is possible that your child will be evacuated to an offsite
destination for parent pick up. Parents will be notified through the media,
website, or sign postings at school. Plans for evacuation are as follows:
o
1st Clay Chalkville Middle School
o
2nd In the event that the road to CCMS is blocked, we
will evacuate to Hewitt Trussville High School
o
If we must conduct a walking evacuation, K-2 students will be
evacuated to Springville Road Community Church and 3-5 to Chalkville Baptist
church
·
Students will only be permitted to leave with the parent of
guardian listed on the registration sheet. Parents need to update the
information in our records if there are changes to this information during the
year.
·
In the event of a non-critical event and school must be dismissed
early, every effort will be made to notify the parents through the media.
