Below is how we would plan to communicate with parents when an emergency response is activated. We are going to increase our communication to parents. If in doubt, we will send a notification of an incident. There are conflicting thoughts about yesterday’s incident at RMS. It was not an emergency response, but we should have sent home notification to parents about the incident.

We value and appreciate good communication with our families. However, our first and most important job is keeping your children safe during an emergency. Depending on the nature of the incident, communication may be delayed as administrators and staff take the necessary precautions. As soon as it is possible, we will communicate to families. In addition to emergency responses, we communicate weather related school delays and closures. Below is a chart that outlines the communication methods used by the district.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* only if the incident appears to be for an extended period of time; otherwise, parents/guardians will be notified only at the end of the incident.
