Safety Procedures
Each school has a plan with specified roles and responsibilities for handling various types of emergencies. The SBLSD Emergency Quick Reference Guide is posted in all classrooms and meeting rooms throughout the district.
Specific safety procedures will be followed, depending on the type of emergency. Following is information about what procedures we use in each type of emergency. Every situation is unique, so school staff may adjust their response to address student safety first.
Here is what it means when a school implements one of the following procedures in response to a safety issue or emergency:

Additional Reunification Details
In the rare instance that students are transported to an off-site location due to an emergency, families will be notified of where and when to pick up your child. We will notify you using our emergency communication systems and the contact information you have previously provided to the school.
Each valley school is assigned to a hilltop school for sheltering and managing student-parent relocation. Families should report as soon as practicable to the student-parent reunion center located in the gymnasium of their assigned schools. It is important that families make plans to reunite with their children at the relocation schools, not at their attendance school, so that the schools can evacuate quickly and safely.
Here's a list of "sister schools":
- Daffodil Valley Elementary - Crestwood Elementary
- Maple Lawn Elementary - Emerald Hills Elementary
- Sumner Middle/Community-Based Transition Program - Mountain View Middle
- Sumner High/Elhi Hill High School - Bonney Lake High School
- Sumner Early Learning Center - Bonney Lake Elementary
Here is information about what to expect when picking up your student at a reunification site:
- You will be asked to show photo ID
- Have patience and follow all directions by school staff
- If you are unable to retrieve your child, the school can only release your student to someone who is on the emergency contact list you submitted to the school
