Emergencies

In an emergency, we ask that you not telephone the school. Phone lines will be needed for emergency communication. Please do not drive to the school. Streets should be as open as possible for emergency vehicles. The school will use its automated phone calling system to give parents instructions and updated information.

The Enterprise Elementary School District plans for, prepares for, and conducts emergency drills for emergency/crisis situations. Our school staff is trained to make certain the students understand emergency procedures. The safety and welfare of the students is our primary concern, especially in the event of an emergency. Personnel are trained in first aid. Your children should obey the directions of their teachers and follow the directions of the bus driver if they are on a bus. If walking or riding a bicycle home, students should continue toward their destination should an emergency situation develop at school.

In the event of school closure due to emergencies or inclement weather, please refer to our website, follow our district Facebook page, and listen to KQMS Radio (1670 AM/105.7 FM/104.9 FM). Please be sure to listen for Enterprise Elementary School District as Redding School District and Enterprise High School are not part of our district. The school will also use its automated phone calling system to give parents/guardians instructions and updated information. If inclement weather occurs after the school day has begun, school will remain open for the duration of the school day. In weather-related emergencies, you may pick up your child from school before the school day is over. If bus transportation is stopped due to weather conditions, students will remain on campus until picked up by the parent/guardian. If you have questions about our emergency preparedness programs, please contact your child's principal.

Parents are required to provide the school with the following contact information should an emergency arise. This information must be kept current, so parents must inform the school when this information changes. Information provided on the emergency cards will only be used in response to specific emergency situations and not for any other purpose.

The required information includes:

• current home address(es)
• current telephone number(s)
• business or employment address(es) and telephone number(s)
• contact information for one or more relatives/friends who you authorize to care for your student in any emergency situation
• medical caregiver
