EVACUATE

EVACUATE icon

Evacuate occurs when students and staff must leave the building. Students and staff are calmly transitioned to predetermined evacuation assembly points. For hazards other than fire, the type of hazard and special instructions are announced.

Students

  • Bring your phone, if not in a backpack or purse (if it is already on your person).
  • Leave your stuff behind.
  • Form a single file line.
  • Show your hands, if requested.
  • Listen carefully for alternate instructions.

Teachers

  • Grab the teacher folder or roll sheet, if safe to do so.
  • Lead students to Evacuation location.
  • Take attendance and note the time upon arrival at predetermined evacuation assembly point.
  • Notify campus officials of any attendance discrepancies.

Parents

  • Wait for updates from Grand Prairie ISD via normal communication channels.
  • Please do not come to the school, as most evacuations are short-term with students immediately returning to the building following a brief period of time to evaluate the hazard.
  • If parent reunifications at another district campus will be required, parents will be notified of the reunification location via normal Grand Prairie ISD communications channels. NOTE: Parents or guardians must bring a valid government-issued photo ID to any Grand Prairie ISD reunification site.
  • Ensure the school has current phone numbers and information regarding persons authorized to pick up your student.
