EMERGENCY PLAN

Dear Parents and Guardians:

In response to recent inquiries regarding evacuation plans, I would like to inform you of the procedures we have in place in accordance with our School Safety Plan and Crisis Response Plan. In the event of an emergency, one of three plans will be activated:

PLAN A: Students will remain with their teacher in their classrooms. Parents and guardians will be permitted to retrieve their children from school, if necessary.

PLAN B: Students will be escorted to safe areas of the building, i.e., the gymnasium, cafeteria, auditorium, where they will be supervised by teachers.

PLAN C: Students and teachers will be evacuated to:

EDISON HIGH SCHOOL
165-65 84TH AVENUE
718-297-6580
HILLCREST HIGH SCHOOL
160-05 HIGHLAND AVENUE
718-658-5407
JOHN BOWNE HIGH SCHOOL
63-25 MAIN STREET
718-263-1919

The plan chosen will depend upon the nature of the emergency.

Please be assured that your children will be supervised at all times. The entire Jamaica faculty and staff consider your child’s safety our first priority. If you have any questions regarding this information, please call us at 718-739-5942.

Yours truly,

Jay A. Dickler, Principal
