    • Duck, cover 和 hold on.
    • Evacuate when instructed. 签到.
    • Return to building, if safe, or gather in designated indoor or outdoor space.

    锁定: A threat inside a school. Staff locks all classroom doors 和 students take shelter in classrooms as necessary.

    家庭可以做什么

    • 紧急联系人: Student registration information in your school office:
      • Make sure emergency contacts are up to date.
      • List people likely to be near school who can pick up your child if you cannot.
    • 制定计划 for picking up your child in the event of an emergency, including a severe earthquake.

      • Incidents are often resolved quickly with no actual threat to student safety. Please do not come to school amid an emergency unless instructed to do so.
      • PPS recognizes the burden when school is delayed or cancelled due to weather or other incidents while working to make the safest call.

我们怎么打电话

  • PPS的家庭,

    During a winter weather event, the decisions we make to delay or close schools are based on how safe it is to ride a bus, 开车, 骑自行车或步行上学.

    How we make a decision:
    We rely on local 和 national weather services to alert us to an incoming storm 和 evaluate conditions in consultation with the City of Portl和 和 other school districts. When we anticipate an approaching storm, we have transportation staff out evaluating road conditions as early as 4 a.m.

    We try to make decisions that reflect the varying topography 和 weather conditions across our community. But you know the condition in your local neighborhood better than anyone else. If you feel it’s unsafe to 开车, walk or bike to school, please keep your student home.

    We also take into account that weather conditions can change – sometimes getting better. We try to balance a conservative, safety-first approach with our responsibility for having students in school learning.

    We provide notice about weather-related closures as far in advance as possible – the day before, 如果可以的话, or else early in the morning.

    Types of weather calls:
    Two-hour late opening – 线上博彩平台 begin – 和 buses pick up students - two hours later than usual. There is no half-day kindergarten or morning childcare.
    雪道上的公共汽车 Students report to their snow route bus stop in the morning 和 are dropped off at the same stop in the afternoon.
    线上博彩平台 和 办公室关闭 – Students stay home; activities are cancelled.
    〇提前下课 K-8 students are not released until parent contact is made.

    每年三月, we evaluate how many instructional days were lost due to weather/other events 和 determine if makeup days in June will be added.

    We recognize that weather-related school decisions can cause anxiety 和 inconvenience. We appreciate your patience 和 flexibility 和 want you to know that our first goal, 一如既往地, is to keep children safe.
