Emergency School Closures



Connect ED/Phone Tree

The Principal will send out a Connect Ed message in the case of an emergency school closure. The emergency phone tree may also need to be activated in case of a school emergency that happens before school begins. You are responsible for calling the person below you on the phone tree. If you do not reach the person below you, please call the next person in line. The last person in each section of the tree will call Salli to report that the communication chain is complete.
