Parent Reunification Plan

Parent Reunification Plan

Dear Parents:

Our parent reunification plan is used if it became necessary to relocate the entire school population to either of our two alternative sites. Such a move would take place when it is determined by school officials that keeping students in the school would be hazardous to students and staff. We have two alternative sites. The first is the Kimball Ward building (the LDS church located just north of EHMS). In the event that the Kimball Ward building is unsafe, students will be transported to Jeremy Ranch Elementary School. When you are notified of the activation of our parent reunification plan, you will be told where the students have been transported.

If it becomes necessary to activate our parent reunification plan, KPCW (649-9004 or 649-8395) and KSL 1160 (655-8427) radio stations and PCTV8 television station (649-0045) will be notified. Please tune in to any of those stations for information and directions. Additionally, every teacher's emergency notebook contains a class list for each period with parent names and phone numbers. Staff members will utilize these class lists as a phone tree to notify parents of the situation. It is critically important that Ms. Kelsch, our attendance secretary, has all necessary phone numbers so that we are able to contact you at any time during the school day in the event of an emergency.

When you arrive at the alternative site to pick up your child, there will be four stations: A-F, G-L, M-R, S-Z. Please report to the station that has the first letter of your student's last name. Give the station worker your child's name. Once you have been identified, your child will be brought to you at the station.

If we evacuate to the church, students will be held in the multipurpose room and the stations will be in the church's main lobby. If evacuated to Jeremy Ranch, students will be held in the multipurpose room and the stations will be held in the main hallway.

• It is essential that parents first report to their respective station. We must be organized in order to ensure 100% accountability of our students.

** All individuals picking up students must be positively identified by our staff or provide valid identification. Unless a person's name is on our list as having your permission to pick up your child, we will not release your child to them.

Student safety is one of our primary concerns at Ecker Hill. We appreciate your support and assistance in this important matter. Please call us at 645-5610 with any questions or concerns about our emergency planning procedures.

Sincerely,
Traci Evans, Assistant Principal
