Emergency Information

  • Emergency Information
     
    Each school within the Washington School District, as well as the Administrative Center, has crisis management guidelines and a comprehensive plan designed to inform staff and students of what to do in the event of a crisis. The plans are based on the District's Crisis Manual and contain vital information necessary to assist in any emergency situation. In addition to the manual, each school and the Administrative Center have Crisis Response Teams that are mobilized in the event of an emergency to assist in providing information to the students, staff, families and community. Fire and lockdown drills are practiced regularly at each site to ensure that routines and safety procedures are well established and familiar to all. Parents/guardians can expect effective and efficient information communicated in a timely manner regarding school-related situations that may occur on campus.
    • In the event of a school or District emergency, parents will be notified in the following ways:
      • with a text, phone call and/or email from the District's mass notification system; 
      • posts to social media and/or the school/District web site; and/or
      • traditional media outlets, if necessary.
