In emergencies, information (such as emergency information) may be released to appropriate persons if it is necessary in the judgment of the principal or his/her designee to protect the health or safety of the student or other persons.

The school has a file containing current emergency care information for each student. Each parent is responsible to annually update the following information:

1. The name of the student, his/her home address, telephone and birth date
2. The business addresses and telephone numbers of the parents/guardian, and the hours during which they will be at their place of work. If applicable, the cell phone and/or pager numbers of parents should be recorded
3. The date of the latest tetanus immunization/booster
4. The name of the family physician and dentist, office addresses and telephone numbers
5. Name of medical insurance company and identification number
6. Special health conditions or allergies to which the student is susceptible, the emergency measures to be applied, and any current medication
7. The parents' approval to send the student to a medical facility for emergency treatment should this be necessary
8. The names of the persons to whom the student may be released
9. The signature of responsible parent(s) or legal guardian

In some situations it may be necessary to have a school lockdown. As per police recommendations, the following procedures will be implemented for a school lockdown:

1. Doors will be locked
2. Drapes and/or blinds will be closed
3. No one will be permitted to enter or leave the building
4. Lockdown will continue until the school receives an “all clear” signal from emergency personnel

Parents should not call the school so the phone will be available to emergency personnel.
