Emergency situations (problems dealing with heating, electricity, or water failure) are impossible to predict. The staff does everything possible to notify you in advance to avoid students being left unsupervised or locked out of their homes.

It is important that you establish with your child the procedures you would like followed if he or she comes home and finds no one there. Your child should know in advance about telephoning you, using a hidden key, or staying with an approved friend or neighbor.

Check with your individual school to determine the specific procedures (phone chains, etc.) used to notify parents and guardians in case of an emergency. Please cooperate with your schools in providing emergency information at the beginning of each school year and whenever your information changes.
