Evacuation Procedures

Parent Re-Unification Plan

This plan will be used in an emergency where the school building must be evacuated as deemed necessary by school personnel and/or law enforcement officials.

The re-unification site:

Trinity Presbyterian Church in America

6098 Locust Lane Harrisburg, PA.

If it becomes necessary to activate our parent re-unification plan, parents will be contacted, if possible, through the use of our school-reach program and/or through a statement released to the media.

In the event of an emergency, parents and guardians are encouraged NOT to respond during a crisis. This will allow our school to appropriately assess the crisis or emergency and activate our plan.

In the event of an emergency and when the re-unification time is appropriate, parents are asked to do the following:

• Cooperate with first responders and school officials.
• Wait for notification of how and when to respond.
• Follow the directions of traffic control.
• Please be patient, we need to ensure the safety of all students.
• Students will not be released until cleared by Incident Command.
• Parents must provide a photo ID.
• During an emergency, no phone calls will be permitted.
• A student will only be released to a parent/guardian or to the emergency contact person listed in the student information system and/or the emergency card. No other person may pick up a student.
• All parents, guardians, and authorized persons will be asked to sign the student out with date, time, name, grade, etc.

 

The Process of Re-Unification will be:

• Staff will be posted to assist at the doors.
• Parents will enter and arrive at tables through the main entrance of the church. Tables will be set up by grade of students.
• Parents/guardians and authorized emergency contacts will need to show proper ID, be verified in our student information system and/or emergency information card, and sign the student out.
• Staff will radio for the student. Staff will direct student and parent/guardian to the exit.

Students not picked up after all parental/guardian and emergency calls have been made will be referred to the Lower Paxton Township Police.
