Emergency Procedures

Critical Incident Procedures

In the event of a safety/security threat inside or outside the building, the Fort Morgan Police Department has assisted the school in establishing safety procedures. Students will be taken to secure areas until the school office is notified by the police department that everything is safe. In the event of a safety or security threat, please do not call the school or attempt to pick up your children.

Emergencies and Drills

Regular emergency drills are required by law and are an important safety precaution. It is essential that when the fire alarm sounds or the alarm for the tornado drill sounds, the students obey promptly and listen to their teachers for the procedure they need to follow.

Emergency Contacts

At registration, school personnel will ask you to provide the names and phone numbers of emergency contact people. We will need for you to provide two emergency contact people other than parents, so that we will be able to reach someone in case of an emergency. If a student’s emergency contact information changes during the school year, parents need to contact the school office with the new contact information.
