This is an emergency response management guide for
parents in case of an emergency during school hours.
Lake View Elementary School is committed to providing a
safe and secure school environment for all.
This emergency guide identifies methods and practices which will
maximize the safety and security of our school.
What constitutes an emergency?
An emergency is an unexpected situation that must be
dealt with immediately.
Emergencies range in scope and intensity from incidents
that directly affect a single student to ones that impact the entire
community. Emergencies can and do happen
within the school day.
Emergency management is a continuous process in which all
phases of the plan are being reviewed and revised. The best emergency plans are never
finished. Our plan is being reviewed
constantly.
What does Lake View Elementary do to prepare your
child for an emergency?
Fire:
·
Students practice leaving the building in a safe
and orderly manner.
·
Students practice leaving the building using
alternate routes.
·
Students learn to leave the building with their
teacher or to find their teacher, if they leave with a custodian, cook or aide,
after they arrive outside.
·
Students learn to wait quietly while their class
is checked in and to re-enter the building when the all clear signal is given.
Earthquake:
·
This is a procedure used in a sudden, extreme
emergency where there is not time to move to a safer location first.
·
Individuals make every effort to at least get
their heads underneath tables or desks to avoid injury from falling
objects. Individuals should move as far
away from windows as possible.
·
Students stay put until a responsible adult
gives them the all clear signal to get up and evacuate the building.
·
Students and staff should drop to their knees
and bend with their head on their knees and cover the back of their head with
their hands if a table top or desk is not available to take cover in.
Lockdown:
·
Students practice being sheltered behind locked
doors with constant adult supervision.
·
Students are sheltered as far away from glass as
possible and reasonable.
·
Students not in classrooms are rapidly moved to
a locked area.
·
Students practice remaining calm, quiet and out
of sight.
·
Students may be removed from the school site
when the incident has been stabilized and is safe.
(Students and staff
participate in at least one drill per month.)
Incidents affecting Box Elder School District:
We may be faced with an incident that requires the delay
of start or cancellation of a school day for the entire district (weather,
power failure, etc.). Parents are
encouraged to tune in to KSL News Radio (102.7 FM or 1160 AM) for up-to-date
information.
The BESD web page will also be updated with emergency
information at www.besd.net.
No student will be sent home once they have arrived at
school early unless a parent / guardian has been contacted. If arrangements must be made for a child to
be picked up a valid photo ID is required before a child will be released.
What should the parent / guardian do to prepare for
an emergency?
·
Have all home contact information current with
the office
·
Make sure school personnel are aware of any
special circumstances such as meds, conditions, etc. that your child may have
·
In an emergency requiring us to evacuate the
campus we will assemble at the LDS stake center to the west of the school.
·
Always have a valid photo ID available when you
come to pick up a child.
