Emergency Procedures
In the event of an emergency (natural or intruder), we ask that our parents follow these simple procedures:
Please do not call the school! While we certainly understand why you want to do so, your restraint will allow telephone lines to remain clear for emergency communication. Tune your radio to KTTR 1490 AM / KZNN 105.3 FM for emergency announcements.
Please do not come to the school building. To ensure access for emergency vehicles, it is extremely necessary to keep the streets and parking lots clear. We cannot emphasize how important your cooperation is during an emergency.
