Emergency Preparedness

Emergency Contacts

Each year, a parent or guardian must complete an Emergency Contact Form for each student in the Aeries Parent Portal. It is essential that this contact information be complete and accurate. Please notify Glenview’s office staff in writing if any of the information reflected on these forms needs to be updated after school starts.

Preparedness Plan

Glenview has a plan in place to ensure that there is water, food, and first aid available for students and staff for multiple days. The school conducts earthquake, fire, and lockdown drills on a regular basis. We explain the reason for our safety drills in developmentally appropriate language. You are encouraged to talk to your child about your family plan to  help your child and you feel more secure about your plans to stay safe:

• Who would pick them up in an emergency? 
• Where will you meet as a family?

Lockdowns 

If there is police activity in the neighborhood, local law enforcement can ask the school to call a “lockdown.” Glenview has a clear process in place to secure the perimeter of the building and the classrooms. Communication via ParentSquare will be provided to parents as soon as possible during these instances to keep you up-to-date on the status of the students. 

If you are on campus when a lockdown is called, please go into the nearest classroom and support the adults on campus until an “all clear” signal is given. If you are off-campus and you hear that Glenview is on lockdown, do not come to the school. The building and gates will be locked, and school staff will not be able to allow you to enter.
