Emergency Procedures

Before an Emergency

• Choose and Submit Emergency Contacts: Make sure that your school forms indicate anyone you want to be able to pick up your child in an emergency (friends, family, neighbors, etc.). No one, not even a relative or a babysitter, will be allowed to pick-up your child unless they are listed on the student’s white emergency card. Ensure that this person is likely to be local… write down both spouses if you choose a couple.
• Inform Emergency Contacts: Make sure that you inform these contacts that they are authorized to pick up your child.
• Wear Medic Alert Bracelet for Special Medical Conditions: If your child has any special medical conditions, get a Medic Alert bracelet for them to wear at ALL times.
• Store Phone Numbers with Child: Ensure that your child has your family’s emergency numbers in their backpack and if old enough, has memorized 1 or 2 key phone numbers, perhaps including an out-of-town relative.

During an Emergency

• Volunteer on Campus: If you are on campus, help the teacher get the children onto the blacktop and then report to the Volunteer Table.
• Get Information: Check the Twitter feed @SRbobcats and Tune your radio to the Los Altos Emergency Station, AM 530.
• Pick Up Your Child from School:
  Come to school as soon as possible to retrieve your child and make sure you have your government issued photo ID (i.e. driver’s license) with you. Park on Los Altos Avenue (not in the parking lot), do not block the driveways Go to the Student Check-Out Table (signs will be posted) to sign out your child

What Not to Do in an Emergency

• Do NOT call the main school number or classroom numbers
• Do NOT park in the school parking lot which may block emergency vehicles
• Do NOT attempt to retrieve your child without checking him or her out at the Student Checkout Table
• Do NOT go onto the field or blacktop
