Oak Knoll Emergency Procedures

  • In the event of an emergency please remain calm and remember that your children will be taken care of.  Your children’s safety is our first priority.

  • Oak Knoll staff will follow the Oak Knoll Site Emergency Plan and those policies set out by the District Plan.  All staff has designated roles in any emergency and a command structure exists. Each classroom is equipped with a Red Emergency Backpack and Emergency Clipboard containing a class roster, Student release/medical ID tags and first aid/emergency supplies and materials.  In addition the school has emergency food and water for the immediate crisis and up to 72 hours.

  • Teachers and students will follow the school’s evacuation procedures.  After evacuation, roll will be called and each student will be given his or her ID tag to wear.  Students will be supervised at the school site until a parent or designated alternate appearing on the ID tag can come and pick up the student.  For this reason, it is important all information on this ID tag is current and those designated are someone with whom you have discussed this situation and have mutually agreed upon an emergency plan.

  • In the event of a serious earthquake where building safety becomes an issue, parents or designated persons should come to the school as soon as possible to pick up your child.  PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL. Phones will be needed for emergency information.  Tune into local radio and television for community news and instructions.

  • Please, park on the surrounding streets.  DO NOT PARK IN DRIVEWAYS OR PARKING AREA OF SCHOOL. These areas will be needed for emergency vehicles.
