EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION Each year, parents are asked to complete an emergency release form to provide contact information in the event that school is dismissed early or opening is delayed because of severe weather or another emergency, or if the campus must restrict access due to a security threat. The district will rely on contact information on file with the district to communicate with parents in an emergency situation, which may include real-time or automated messages. It is crucial to notify your child’s school when a phone number previously provided to the district has changed. If the campus must close, delay opening, or restrict access to the building because of an emergency, the district will also alert the community in the following ways:
EMERGENCY CRISIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION The Channelview Independent School District has developed an extensive Crisis Management Plan to address prevention, intervention, and follow-up of crisis situations. The safety of our children is our primary concern. The following procedures will be utilized during certain crisis situations.
This procedure is used in any situation other than weather that may be a hazard.
This procedure is used when weather conditions exist that may place a school or schools in immediate danger.
This procedure is used when an intruder invades the premises or there is an imminent danger to the campus.
