Ralston Intermediate School Emergency Protocol
Note: we recommended that you give a copy of these procedures to those you have designated as emergency contacts on your child's emergency card.
Should an emergency situation (such as an earthquake, power failure, or civil disaster) occur while school is in session, Ralston's response plan will be as follows:
-
No student will be dismissed from school unless a parent (or individual previously designated by a parent) comes for him/her.
-
No student will be allowed to leave with another person even a relative or baby-sitter, unless that person is listed on the student's emergency form. Please be sure your child's emergency card is up-to-date.
If an emergency situation should exist, we ask that you observe the following guidelines:
-
Please do not call the school. We must have the lines open for emergency calls.
-
As soon as possible, come to school to pickup your student and any other students for whom you are the emergency card designee.
-
Park on the streets. Leave the driveway and parking areas clear for emergency vehicles.
-
If, at the direction of public officials (fire, police, etc.) Ralston students have been relocated to another site for safety, announcements will be made on Bay Area radio and TV stations. A Public Information line will also be maintained at the District Office, 650/637-4800, and the PTA will initiate an emergency telephone tree.
-
Be sure you have told your student to follow the directions of school personnel.
For your information, we have a complete Emergency Response Plan available in our office. You are welcome to come in and review it at any time.
