school safety plans by site and the Big Five

school safety plans by site and the Big Five

Each Safe School Plan contains immediate crisis response protocols for a variety of emergencies including active-shooter events.  They are updated annually by the site Safe School Committee, vetted through the school site council and presented to the Monterey County Office of Education on the first of March each year. 
 
 
These are known as THE BIG FIVE, School Emergency Guidelines.  These guidelines are posted in every classroom and in the front office of each school site. 
 
 
RUN, HIDE, FIGHT: All teachers and administrators have been trained on strategies and procedures in case of an armed intruder. Beginning 2019 school year, this training along with BIG FIVE and School Emergency Guidelines will be expanded to support staff and substitute teachers.

Helpful steps visitors to our schools can follow:
  • Be prepared to show identification to staff at the school site. Do not get upset if you are asked to show ID or wait for confirmation.
  • Check into the office immediately; do not go to a room or walk through campus without a visitor badge.
  • Follow the pick-up and drop-off procedures for your students
  • Thoroughly read the student handbook for your school, and know our expectations for safety to avoid any confusion.
  • If there is an emergency, DO NOT come to the school building. Await notification and go directly to the identified location for student reunification.
