Do not send children to school until you verify school is in session.

School closure will be for one day only. If school is closed, all meetings, field trips, after-school activities, practices will be canceled for the day unless otherwise announced. All evening meetings/functions scheduled will be canceled.
If there is a two-hour delayed start, the following schedule changes will apply:
IMPORTANT: School may be closed after an announced two-hour delay due to further deterioration of the weather. Parents should have a back-up plan if this happens.

ELECTRICAL OUTAGE:

When there is a power outage the school has no phone service, lights or heat. Because of this if you hear of a power outage, please contact your carpool driver for that day and make arrangements for your child to be picked up. The office will initiate the phone tree.

School Emergency Response

Christ the King Academy will use all procedures in the Christ Memorial Emergency Response Plan that apply to the school Monday through Friday during the school year. Of utmost importance is the safety of students and staff.

Drills
Various drills are practiced each month in accordance with fire district recommendations. They include fire, earthquake, and intruder drills.

In case of a serious earthquake or other critical situations, we ask parents to help in the following areas:

Please do not call the school; we must have the lines open for emergency calls.
To the extent possible, we will give students the opportunity to contact you.
Following an earthquake, do not immediately drive to the school. Streets and access to the school may be blocked or damaged. Also, the school access routes and street entrances must remain clear for emergency vehicles.
For information and directions, please tune your radio to the local Emergency Broadcast Station (EBS), which is KITZ (AM 1400).
Begin now to have family discussions about what to do during a serious earthquake or other large-scale emergency. Discuss with your children your expectations of them and their expectations of you.

Earthquake Kits
We ask that parents help us by supplying children with an earthquake kit at the beginning of each school year.

First Aid Supplies
Each classroom has a first aid kit to be used in a disaster/emergency situation. Teachers keep a minimal supply of bandages in their rooms. The school’s first aid supplies are kept in the office. These supplies are updated as needed.
