Sister Anne Daniel, Principal, strongly recommends that parents listen
to the radio each morning before sending your children to school.
In the event
that the U.S. Government declares "Threat Condition 5," otherwise known
as condition red or code red, St. Denis/ St. Columba School will take
the following actions during all days that this condition remains in effect:
- Our school
will cancel all trips that would go beyond school boundaries. This action
covers all school-sponsored or school-authorized trips including field
trips, class trips, and sports events.
- School will
cancel playground recess.
- School safety
teams will implement contingency plans that include measures for securing
the school building.
- Schools will
implement a lock-down which is a procedure used when there is an immediate
and imminent threat to the school building population. School staff
and students are secured in the rooms they are currently in and no one
is allowed to leave until the situation has been resolved. This allows
the school to secure the students and staff in place and protect any
school visitors from immediate danger.
- School will
activate methods of communicating with parents that include emergency
relay, using voice mail, and posting messages on our web site, www.stcolumba.net.
This communication will depend on the means available at the time. This
information will come as an official directive from the Government or
the Archdiocese of New York. These
messages will be posted on the Alert
link as we receive them. You can get to other public school district
websites by clicking on District
Websites.
