Emergency Checklist
The Laredo Independent School District
has the highest concern for student safety. Thus, we have
developed a thorough emergency response plan covering most
natural and other emergencies. If you wish to discuss specific
concerns or to ask questions, please call your respective
school principal.
As
parents, you play an essential role in keeping students safe during
an emergency. Please consider the following guidelines that are of
particular importance to parents in emergencies so that you may help
our staff respond effectively to an emergency.
-
Be prepared for early
dismissals.
In some emergencies,
such as in inclement weather, school officials will deem it
prudent to send students home early. Your child's school will
contact you if there will be early dismissal. Please make sure you
provide the school's office with up-to-date contact information so
that we can easily reach you if there is an early dismissal.
-
If there is no early dismissal, please do
not pick up children from school.
If you do not learn about an early
dismissal, but learn of a school emergency, please do not rush to
school to pick up your child. Traffic will block any needed
emergency vehicles, and your presence in school buildings during
an evacuation may delay the process. Keep in mind that police will
bar parents from school grounds in some emergencies. The safety of
our students is paramount to us, and we will reunite students and
parents as soon as possible.
-
Get information from local media in an
emergency.
In an
emergency, stay tuned to local television and radio stations for
current information, including how parents will be safely reunited
with their children. For information on planning before an
emergency, contact the American Red Cross-Webb County Chapter at
(956) 726-4778.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please remember
that you play an essential role in our efforts to keep students
safe. (En Español)
