Reminders for Parents:

• Read emails and follow guidance: During emergencies, the district will immediately contact the appropriate authorities and communicate important updates and instructions via email. Please take a moment to read these messages and follow the guidance provided.
• Follow directions from staff: Our staff are trained to manage these situations. Please follow their instructions and cooperate fully to help us maintain an organized and safe environment.
• Stay clear of schools until we message that student release has begun: For your safety and the safety of responders, please avoid approaching the school or evacuation areas during emergencies. You will be notified via Parent Square and when a student release process is initiated.
• Student Release: It’s important to note that all EOPs include a student release plan. However, please understand that reaching the student release portion of the EOP may take some time and typically falls towards the end of the EOP. During an active emergency, staff members are prioritized to enact critical safety procedures, which require their full focus and attention. As a result, we will have very minimal staff available to process student release requests. This is intentional, as the safety and well-being of all students and staff must come first.

School Site Safety Plans & District Emergency Manual

Per Ed. Code 32280, each school in a district is required to maintain a comprehensive school safety plan and update these plans annually. Each plan has the required elements. All LCMSD schools have completed the updates to these specifications and Trustees have been provided with copies of these updates.

School and District Emergency Manuals are on file in site offices and the Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and reporting form is on the LCMSD website here. If community members would like to learn about LCMSD Emergency Procedures in more detail, they may contact the specific site office for more information and to set up an appointment.
