Reunification Authorization Sheet

In order to be better prepared to handle any emergency or crisis during the school year, Redland MS is requesting that parents/guardians provide us with information that will allow us to quickly contact and notify you of the situation, as well as efficiently release students to parents or authorized representatives. This form will allow you to authorize people (in addition to those listed on the yellow emergency forms) for us to release students to in the case of an emergency.

If schools are closed or delayed, the announcement is made no later than 6:00 a.m. (or the night before if possible). If schools are closing early, the announcements are made by 11:00 a.m.

Code Blue

This is a term used to alert staff that an emergency/crisis exists at or near an MCPS facility. It requires all students to be accounted for and under supervision. Administrators may activate the On-Site Emergency Team (OSET) and set up a command post when appropriate.

Code Red

Code Red is defined as an alert status indicating imminent danger exists to all staff and students. During a Code Red, staff and students must remain within their classroom or within a secured area. If students are in the hallways, they must quickly move to the nearest classroom or to a secure area, remain quiet and follow staff instructions. Staff should secure their immediate area and account for students. Students should also be kept away from doors and windows.
