Emergency Preparedness
Dunsmuir Joint Union High School District continuously plans and prepares for emergencies that could interrupt the school day for students. We want to make sure that you are fully informed of our Emergency Operations Plan.
Emergency Contacts:
IMPORTANT: At the beginning of every school year, you receive a number of forms to complete. The online registration or Homelink account includes your emergency contact information. It is VITAL that we have accurate contact information so you can be reached in case of an emergency.
In the event of an emergency, DO NOT COME TO THE SCHOOL UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO.
You will be contacted via text, email, phone, and push notification in the [name of district] mobile app. School staff will stay with your child until you, or an adult you previously authorized, can pick up your child. When you arrive at the school, staff will help you properly sign out your student.
Reunification
Students may be moved to another location to provide better and more direct care. The district administration and emergency personnel will make this decision based on current conditions, including building safety and the length of time that students may need to remain in the care of school staff. If relocation is necessary, schools will alert parents, informing you about where your child is being cared for. This information will also be posted on the district’s website and provided to the media.
School Site Emergency Plan
School sites plan how to respond and recover from an emergency, disaster or event resulting in the disruption of normal school operations.
The district and our emergency responders work together to conduct districtwide trainings and update every school’s safety plan. Your school’s emergency plan may be viewed in the school’s main office.
If your child has special needs that require additional assistance in an emergency, you can work with school staff to develop an individualized emergency plan.
