Schools are responsible for each child on campus until they are picked up by a parent or authorized emergency contact. This responsibility remains, even when disaster strikes and circumstances require schools to keep students beyond the normal school day. The Student Release Team is responsible for releasing students to their parents/guardians. The Student Supervision Team is responsible for supervising students in the assembly area and releasing students to the Pick-Up/Release area for reunification with parents.
Parent/Student Reunification Protocol utilizes a Check-In gate system:
1) The first area “the holding area” is the Student Supervision assembly area where all students remain while being supervised by the Student Supervision Team;
2) The second area is the Check-In Gate where parents assemble to request release of their student and provide identification to Student Release Team staff;
3) After checking in, parents will check in with a Student Supervisor to present their Student Release Ticket and wait for their child(ren) to join them. The Supervisor will collect the SRT and return it to the Command Station for documentation.
