How Derby schools uses SRP and SRM. How it is communicated and implemented.

During critical events, such as school threats, the priority is always the safety of students and staff. Reunification procedures play a vital role in ensuring students are safely reunited with their families. In the fall of 2022, Haysville schools faced a challenging situation that required off-site reunification of students and parents.

Join us for a discussion with the Executive Director of Operations, Director of Special Services, and a Campus High School teacher as they share their firsthand experiences from that day.

During the session, you can expect to hear firsthand stories and lessons learned from professionals who were directly involved in the process. Here are some potential key points that will likely be covered:

· Challenges in Reunification: The process of reuniting students with parents during a crisis can be chaotic. Expect to hear about difficulties in communication, tracking students, and ensuring the safety of everyone involved.

· Positive Aspects and Successes: It’s just as important to reflect on what went well. This could include effective communication strategies, pre-established protocols, and strong collaboration between staff members and emergency services that helped streamline the process.

· Considerations for Special Services: Students who require special services or accommodations may face additional barriers during reunification. The Director of Special Services will offer valuable perspectives on how to address specific needs, whether it's medical considerations, mobility issues, or communication support.

· Post-Event Improvements: In the aftermath of such an event, schools often debrief and reassess their procedures to identify areas for improvement. Delve into what has been modified or updated in the protocols to ensure a faster, more efficient reunification in the future.



This is a unique opportunity to learn about how our schools have adapted and improved after a critical event and how we can continue to strengthen our procedures to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Ensuring the safety of students and staff at school requires a comprehensive approach. Since 2018, Wichita Public Schools has made school safety a key component of the district’s strategic plan for success. This presentation will highlight the physical security measures adopted to enhance safety, as well as initiatives aimed at fostering a stronger connection between students and school. Together, these efforts work to improve both safety and a sense of belonging, ultimately protecting our schools.

It's important for kids to be familiar with traffic safety before they start driving. We have interactive school programs for Kindergarten thru Senior year that focus on booster seats, seat belts, dangers in and around vehicles, risky driving behaviors (including underage drinking and impaired driving) and rules of the road. All of our programs are FREE and some even offer a chance to earn money for your schools!
