Crisis Response Information

The Cranford School District has developed a Crisis Response Plan that is designed to minimize danger to anyone occupying a school should an emergency occur. Our main objective is to attend to the health and welfare of your children in the event of a crisis.

In most emergencies, your children will remain and be cared for at the school they attend. In the rare event of an emergency that prohibits reentry to a school building (such as a broken gas or water main, a fire, or a toxic spill), students will be transported via school transportation/or walk to the nearest and most appropriate school building. Cranford High School students will be dismissed to return home for the day.

We ask that you follow the procedure below if you hear of any school emergency:
-

  1. TURN ON YOUR RADIO OR TELEVISION. We will keep the media informed of any emergency.
    -
  2. PLEASE DO NOT TELEPHONE THE SCHOOL. We have limited phone lines and they MUST be used to respond to emergencies.
    -
  3. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THE SCHOOL UNLESS YOU ARE REQUESTED TO PICK UP YOUR CHILD. Any emergency involving your child's school may mean emergency vehicles and workers must be able to get to the building. If the emergency necessitates relocation of staff and students you will be informed via the media.
    -
  4. ACCESS TV35 FOR ANY INFORMATION ON SCHOOL CLOSING/DELAYED OPENINGS. PLEASE GLUE THIS INFORMATION INSIDE THE COVER OF YOUR PHONE BOOK.
