IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PROVIDE THE SCHOOL WITH ACCURATE PHONE NUMBERS AND EMERGENCY CONTACTS. Any changes in this information during the year should be given to the office immediately.

As a general rule Annunciation will follow the lead of our local Fullerton schools regarding school closure in the case of an emergency. Therefore if the local radio stations report the public elementary schools are closed you can assume that we also will be closed.

Any time there is police activity or any kind of emergency the following procedures are in effect.

• The school perimeter is secured as needed, until the police respond.

• The faculty and staff have first aide training.

• The Principal or, the Vice Principal in the principal’s absence, is the lead person coordinating all activities, directing the staff and students as well as working with the police, parish staff, and with the Archdiocese.

• In the event of a major emergency generally speaking we follow Fullerton school district policy regarding school closure; therefore if you hear our local public school is closed Annunciation CatholicSchool will also be closed.

• Our Red Cross evacuation site is ____________________________ should we need to leave the premises.

(PLEASE KEEP YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION CURRENT FOR YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY)


 * Evacuation Procedures**

The school ground will be secured and the reunion gate will be clearly marked. This will be the only point of entry for the school grounds.

All students must be signed out. We are only able to release your child to yourselves or those listed as emergency contacts.

Annunciationl needs your help in keeping our school safe for everyone. Annunciation will take seriously all threats to inflict serious harm to self or others. The school will respond to any statements or behaviors of a threatening nature by individuals that might pose a threat to the well- being of students, staff or others and any weapon possession. Annunciation has an obligation to keep our school safe and will take this matter seriously. This is not an area for practical jokes or offhand comments. Recent events demonstrate the importance of investigating thoroughly all potential concerns. If you become aware of a threatening situation, you must immediately report it to a teacher or the principal.
 * Student Threats:**

In the case of outside threats Annunciation has a procedure in place assure the lockdown of the classrooms to provide security for the students.
