Here are some of the ways that the District has engaged in safety and security preparedness efforts:
We collaborate with local emergency planners and with our first response community on our school emergency preparedness efforts.
The District Safety Team also meets monthly with local emergency responders to review and evaluate our emergency procedures and stay up to date on emergency protocols from the State of Vermont.
The MRUSD has a strong relationship with our local law enforcement and we often work with these members to discuss potential crisis situations.
Our schools also routinely practice safety drills to promote awareness and response to potential emergency situations.
What Caregivers Can Do to Keep Students Safe -
Make sure their emergency contact information is up-to-date and comprehensive.
Make sure your list of adults who are authorized to pick up their child is up-to-date and that those adults know to always carry their ID with them. Children will not be released to anyone who is unauthorized or cannot provide appropriate identification.
Make sure the school has information about any special needs their child may have.
Check their phone/email every morning before they come to school in case there is a problem on campus.
Check established communication channels regularly.
For caregivers of older children, make sure they feel encouraged and safe to subscribe to “see something – say something.”
Encourage their children to take drills seriously, to listen carefully, and follow directions.
During a school emergency, we ask caregivers to -
Monitor your telephone and email: We will utilize an automated notification system to inform you of the emergency and provide guidance.
Go online and turn on your radio or television: Check our website (www.maplerun.org) often for updates in the NEWS section. We will keep the media informed of any emergency as well.
Caregivers should not call the school. It is essential to keep phone lines open so school officials can make outgoing emergency calls. If students are ill or injured, the caregivers of those students will be notified first.
Caregivers should not go to the school. One of the greatest challenges facing school officials and first responders is how to manage an onslaught of caregivers. Caregivers might also inadvertently create traffic jams that may block emergency responders from getting to the scene or leaving if necessary to transport injured students or staff to emergency medical facilities. If the emergency necessitates relocation of staff and students, caregivers will be informed via a phone call, social media, and the website. Caregiver’s photo identification is required to dismiss a student. To dismiss a student to any adult other than the caregiver or emergency contact will require written permission from the student’s caregiver.
