Emergency Notification System

Haslett Public Schools has developed a protocol for notifying stakeholders regarding district emergencies. Those emergencies include school cancellations due to “Acts of God,” late school starts and early or late dismissals.

1. What is defined as an emergency situation?
   An emergency situation is defined as a situation which requires a building to go into lock-down, prepare for an emergency weather condition, or evacuate.
2. Who is responsible for notifying parents and students of school cancellations?
   The Superintendent of Schools will determine whether or not school will be cancelled due to an “Act of God.” These cancellations could be for the entire day or could be a late school start or an early or late dismissal. Parents and students will be notified by a phone call or a text message sent via our Skylert system.
3. How are buildings and programs notified of emergency situations?
   On most occasions, buildings will be notified by a phone call from Meridian Township Police. This call will be followed by notification from Central Office staff at Haslett Public Schools. Notification will be via the radio system, followed by a text message.
4. Which Haslett entities are to be notified via the emergency radio system?
   MSU Preschool, Wilkshire Early Childhood Center, Murphy Elementary School, Ralya Elementary School, Haslett Middle School, Haslett High School, Community Education, Haslett Kids Connection, Technology Department, Bus Garage, Capital Area Library and Haslett Facilities.
5. Following an emergency situation, how will parents be notified?
   Parents will be notified first through a message generated by Central Office staff. Central Office staff will use the district Skylert system.
