Emergency

At South Summit School District, your child’s safety is a top priority. We are committed to maintaining a secure learning environment and will keep you informed every step of the way. Count on us to provide timely updates and important information to ensure peace of mind for our entire school community.

Alert System

South Summit School District uses an alert system for mass communications, including emergency information. In the event of a school emergency, we will notify parents/guardians via the alert system. We may use text messages, email messages, and phone calls. The alert system uses contact information that parents/guardians input into “School Forms” when they enroll students for school annually via PowerSchool. Please keep this information updated so you will receive emergency information if necessary.

Standard Response Protocol

We use a standard response protocol from the I Love U Guys Foundation during emergency or crisis situations. This provides for consistent language and actions across all schools and local law enforcement.

Standard Reunification Method

South Summit School District uses the standard reunification method from the I Love U Guys Foundation in the event we must evacuate students from school and they must be picked up from a secondary location. This method allows for a formal, controlled release of students.

Emergency Communications

We will post all South Summit School District emergency communications on this web page so parents/guardians can refer back at any time.
