Safety - Environmental crisis In the event of a threatened environmental crisis - such as a hurricane, earthquake or severe flooding - the school’s crisis team will meet and make a decision as to how to proceed. Thereafter, communication will be effected by telephone trees.
The principal is responsible for contacting the members of the administration. The heads of school are responsible for contacting all teachers, by means of the emergency tree. The office administrator is responsible for contacting all non-teaching staff members, by means of their emergency telephone trees.
Homeroom and form teachers are responsible for ensuring that messages are sent to the children of their classes. This is usually done by means of an emergency telephone tree.

If school is closed by the principal, parents/guardians and all employees are advised that under no circumstances is anyone to attempt to reach the campus. If the school is closed on account of an environmental crisis, there will be no access to the campus for anyone. If for any reason parents/guardians are unsure of the situation, and cannot obtain reliable information, they should err on the side of caution and keep their children at home.
In addition to the foregoing, an appropriate message will be placed on the school's answer telephone.
