How will I be notified in an emergency?
We will communicate with you through one or all of these sources:
- BCPS ParentLink
- District and/or School Website
- Social Media (Facebook, Twitter)
- Local Media Outlets (Radio or TV)
Please ensure the correct telephone number is listed on school records, at all times, to ensure you receive ParentLink messages.

* calls are mass notifications that do not include any individual identifying information
Where would I pick my student up in case of an emergency?

Please do NOT arrive at a school site until you are notified of the pick up location. Parents or guardians will pick up at the school site, or at an alternate location, depending on the emergency situation. Notifications will be communicated through BCPS ParentLink, social media, news media, and may be published on the district or school website.
What type of advice and/or guidance can I provide to my student on safety precautions for getting to and from school?
- Students should walk in groups or pairs.
- Students should travel on a designated route, and parents should know the route their student is taking.
- Students should check in with a responsible individual when they arrive at home.
- Students should be taught to always be aware of their surroundings.
- Students should avoid alleys on their designated route to/from school.
- Students should walk on designated sidewalks and in well-lit areas.
- Parents should notify the school when after-school procedures change.
