Emergency preparedness

Parent/Child Reunion

Where will students and staff shelter?
Each valley school is assigned to a hilltop school for sheltering and managing student-parent relocation. Families should report as soon as practicable to the student-parent reunion center located in the gymnasium of their assigned schools. It is important that families make plans to reunite with their children at the relocation schools, not at their attendance school, so that the schools can evacuate quickly and safely. Driving directions to all schools are located on the district homepage.

Here's a list of "sister schools":
* Daffodil Valley Elementary -- Crestwood Elementary
* Maple Lawn Elementary -- Emerald Hills Elementary
* McAlder Elementary -- Liberty Ridge Elementary
* Sumner Middle School -- Mountain View Middle School
* Sumner High School -- Lakeridge Middle School

Communications Tips
Be patient – we will communicate with you as quickly as possible.
Check the Web site or call the Emergency Hotline (253) 891.6001 for updates.
Please don’t call the school; it jams the phone lines.
Be patient – your child’s safety is our first priority!

How Families Can Help
Take care not to become part of the problem by rushing to the school. More traffic just makes it difficult for emergency response teams.

Keep emergency cards up-to-date with correct phone numbers and names of people authorized to pick up your children.

All adults who are picking up children should remember to always bring photo identification.
