Meadows Elementary Parents’ Guide Disaster Emergency Plan
In the event of a disaster, please follow the guidelines below:
AT SCHOOL:
School is the safest place for students during an emergency. Recently
modernized buildings meet stringent public safety codes.
Primary role of school – to care for the safety and welfare of the
children.
School personnel are trained to follow procedures, give instruction and
guidance to students, and are required by law to remain on duty during an
emergency.
AT HOME:
Insure your personal safety first. Children will be cared for until your
arrival.
Remember: the need for safety outweighs the need for speed.
Prepare to arrive calm, patient, and ready to follow school personnel
directions. Encourage other parents to do the same.
If possible, walk to school. Streets may be clogged with emergency
vehicles.
Leave a note at home indicating when you left and where you went. Others
may be looking for you.
Do not call the school. Phone lines will be used by emergency personnel
only and must remain open at all times.
The MBUSD emergency number is 318-7345 x 5903. Also, check your e-mail.
Those of you on the Principal’s E-List will find information there.
ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL:
Campus will be closed and parents will be expected to wait until ALL
students are accounted for and authorized personnel begin the Student Release
Process.
Students will be signed out in an orderly manner. Removing students from
campus without signing out will hamper efforts to account for everyone’s
safety.

is located on the upper playground. Classroom Teachers will release students
to persons listed on the Meadows Emergency Card.
Parents/Emergency designee will be required to sign release form, and
present I.D.
