Emergency Procedures
Attention: Mount Hope families
—
As part of the HWDSB Safe Schools Policy, every year schools are required to conduct a series of Emergency procedures with students and staff to ensure they are prepared in the event of an emergency.
—
Below are the dates of our drills:
|
Lockdown – once per term |
September 14th – in the morning |
|
Shelter in Place – once per year |
September 18th – in the morning |
|
Bomb Threat – once per year |
September 20th – in the morning |
|
Hold & Secure – once per year |
September 25th – in the morning |
|
Fire Drill – three per term |
ongoing |
We all have responsibilities to ensure everyone’s safety. Students are made aware of their responsibilities prior and during an emergency procedure. As parents and guardians you have a vital role as well.
Parents/Guardians will:
- Reinforce with their child the importance to follow directions during an emergency
- Disclose any information they may have prior to or during an emergency
- Refrain from calling their child’s cell phone during a lockdown
- Ensure the office has up to date contact information so they can be easily reached
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
