INTRODUCTION
What is an Emergency?
A duly proclaimed existence of conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons or
property caused by air pollution, fire, flood or flood water, storm, epidemic, riot, earthquake, intruder or
other causes. This may be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of the
site am school and require the combined efforts of the State or other political subdivisions. School
facilities must be prepared to respond to an emergency or traumatic event in an organized and timely
manner so that students and staff can continue to function effectively without additional trauma or the
development of additional emergencies.
School emergencies can be small and easily managed, or they can be large and difficult to manage. Every
school emergency must be managed in a way that ensures the safety of everyone involved. In order to
provide a safe and secure teaching and learning environment, personnel must plan for the management of
emergency events that cannot be predicted or prevented. This plan is designed to help you do that.
PURPOSE / SITUATION:
A. To effectively handle an emergency, a comprehensive Emergency Operations Site Plan must be
developed and an Emergency Response Team must be organized before an emergency occurs.
Our school's Emergency Operations Plan must be organized and all staff members trained in
order to effectively prepare for maximum safety, efficiency and communication in the event of an
emergency.
B. The Incident Command System (ICS) will be used to manage all emergencies that occur within
the school. ICS will be used to perform non-emergency tasks to promote familiarity with the
system. All school personnel will be trained in ICS.
C. Students and parents must also understand that contingency preparation and procedures are
necessary and are conducted for their safety and well-being.
D. Planning, preparation, and training will help staff personnel learn the proper course of action in an
emergency. This manual will provide step-by-step guidelines to help deal with emergencies that
may occur. This manual cannot foresee all possible circumstances of an emergency. Staff must
be prepared to evaluate all the circumstances and make sound judgments based on the situation.
E. A committee will be established consisting of local law enforcement, fire/EMS, emergency
management, and site personnel to develop the Emergency Operations Plan. The committee
should consist of site staff from the following disciplines at a minimum:
Administrator Maintenance/Custodian
Office staff Teachers
School Counselor Parent Volunteers
6
Procedures will be developed to provide for disabled and non-English speaking students and staff.
F. This plan shall be reviewed annually by the above committee and updated to maintain up to date
procedures.
G. Drills will be conducted periodically to test the effectiveness of the plan. A debriefing shall be
conducted after each drill to receive feedback from all participants on the effectiveness of the
plan.
During a Disaster: Step by Step is Right Here
The greatest mistake Administrators, teachers and staff make in crisis come from not knowing what steps
to take and in what order in a given situation. Planning, training and drills will help prevent those mistakes.
In a crisis it helps to know where to turn for help. This manual provides specific sequential steps to take.
These steps are guidelines to inform you of the most likely steps to take. The most likely incidents have
been addressed to help you in an emergency. It is critical to evaluate the circumstances and determine the
most appropriate course of action.
The following manual outlines various school emergencies and the plans in place to address them. All
school safety policies and procedures shall be implemented in accordance Utah Code 53A-3-402.
Site
Hawthorn Academy West Jordan is a K-9 Charter School located at approximately 2200 W. 9062 S. West
Jordan, UT. The procedures outlined in this safety plan will provide a standardized, efficient approach to
safety management within the school. The site consists of one building. There is an Average Daily
Membership of 850 students and 54 staff members.
DIRECTION & CONTROL:
The Administrator has the primary responsibility for implementing the site Emergency Operations Plan.
The Administrator has the responsibility of executing policies developed by the school.
Site personnel and/or local fire and law enforcement agencies handle most emergencies on site.
In case of an emergency that is beyond the capabilities of the site to handle, site personnel will
coordinate with local emergency response agencies. This may include having a member or members
act as liaison with responding agencies.

TRAFFIC PLAN
❑ Between the hours of 8:00-8:45 AM and 3:00-3:45 PM vehicles MUST enter the school ground from
2200 W. and exit RIGHT onto 2200 W.
❑ For safety reasons, you must drop-off and pick-up your students in the designated drop-off and
pick-up zones at the school.
❑ You may drop-off your students between 8:00-8:15 AM. The school bell will ring at 8:20 AM. You
may not drop your students off prior to 8:00 AM as they will not be supervised until this time.
❑ Please have your students ready to exit the car as soon as you move into the drop-off zone to help
expedite a quick drop-off period and to alleviate congestion. If your student is unprepared to exit the
car please pull through the drop-off zone when directed to do so and come around again.
❑ When entering the Drop-off Zone please pull as far forward in the Drop-off zone as possible and
follow the directions of the safety officers.
❑ If you arrive at the school after 8:20 AM you will need be sure your students get into the building
safely as there will be no supervision outside the school. If you arrive after 8:25 AM you will need to
sign them in at the front office as roll may already have been taken in class.
❑ Pick-up will begin at 3:05 PM when students are released from class. You must arrive at the school
to pick-up your students no later than 3:20 PM.
❑ Students who have not been picked-up by the time the drive thru has been cleared will wait by the
front door of the school. If you have an emergency and will be late in picking up your students you
must call the main office to notify the administrators.
❑ Students will be escorted from the building after the final bell by their teachers with their class.
Students will be required to go immediately to the Pick-up area and stay in that area until they have
been picked-up. Students will need to use the bathroom, meet with their teachers and all other
"things" prior to the final bell. A single student missing from the pick-up area can throw off the entire
pick-up system.
❑ If a student does not come to their car when all other cars are ready to move from the Pick-up zone,
this car will need to move out of the pick-up zone with the other cars and circle back through the zone
again so as not to hold up the entire system.
❑ Teachers and school administrators will oversee the Drop-off and Pick-up each day, serving as safety
officers.
11
Safe Walking Policy
For those students who would like to walk or ride bikes to school, they should be aware of the following
things. Please review them with your children.
❑ The School cannot assume-responsibility for students unless they are on school
grounds. Parents, please review your children's walking/biking route with them and teach them
to be safe!
❑ Crossing guards at 9000 S. and 2200 W. will be on duty every school day from 8:00-8:30 &
3:15-3:35. Please do not cross earlier than 8:00a.m. without the crossing guard, as
students are not allowed on school grounds before 8:00 a.m. Also, please keep in mind
that school starts at 8:20.
❑ All pick-up and drop-off will be through the west entrances during pick up and drop off times.
❑ There are no crossing guards in the middle of the day to cross Kindergarteners!
❑ Please wait until the crossing guard is in the middle of the street and signals that it is okay to
cross. Do not cross without the crossing guard! Please walk your bike across the street, and do
not run.
❑ Your route to school may have stretches with no sidewalk, and/or intersections with no crossing
guard. Please use caution, stay well off the street, and cross only after looking both ways.
Bikers, remember to wear a helmet and stay to the far right side of the street.
❑ Please do not walk/bike alone if possible. Avoid talking to strangers, and never approach their
cars. Scream and run away if you feel you are in danger, and tell a crossing guard, another
mother with kids, or your teacher at school what happened.
❑ Once on school grounds, please walk your bike, staying on sidewalks. The school bike rack is
available on the east side of the building near 2200 W.
Thank you for your cooperation! Let's have a safe year!
12
VISITORS ON CAMPUS
90% of school safety deals with controlling who comes on the campus and what they bring with them. With
this as a foundation, the school will be vigilant in requiring all visitors to enter through the front entrance and
sign in at the office. The front office must have an accurate accounting of everyone on the campus. If the
building caught fire, for example, the fire chief will ask the principal, “Who is still in the building?” If a person
who hasn’t signed in was trapped inside and needed help, the office would be unaware of their presence on
campus.
❑ Authorized Visitors appropriately register their presence with the school office staff, wear
school-issued badges, and comply with school procedures to conduct campus business.
❑ Unauthorized Visitors do not register in the office but their presence is still perceived as
non-threatening. These persons, when approached, will comply with campus visitation procedures
immediately.
❑ Intruders are unauthorized visitors who do not cooperate with school staff or administration to
comply with visitation procedures and whose presence is perceived as hostile or threatening to
students or staff.
❑ ANYONE seen on campus without a visitor badge or volunteer button will be asked about his or
her presence. “May I help you?” is a common question heard when greeting someone without a
name-tag. This is YOUR campus too. Parents and volunteers have the right to ask about
someone’s presence too. We all have to work as a team.
❑ Should someone not have a volunteer or visitor sticker displayed, they should be directed to the
front office for proper sign in.
❑ Parents need to sign in all younger children and infants who may be with them. Again, the office
must be able to account for EVERYONE.
❑ Visitors who sign in and wear a nametag may become a campus “intruder” depending on their
actions while on campus. If you are visiting campus, please state your business in the sign in book.
Straying from campus business can be a disruption to classroom instruction and should be
avoided.
❑ Always SIGN OUT when you leave campus.
13
MEDIA
All staff must refer media to site or school spokesperson.
The Administrator and Law Enforcement assume responsibility for issuing public statements
during an emergency.
❑ The Administrator serves as the school spokesperson unless he/she designates another
spokesperson. If spokesperson is unavailable, an alternate assumes responsibilities.
School spokesperson: Lead Director: Deborah Swensen (801) 865-2585
Alternate School spokesperson: Principal: Ryan Dubois (801) 282-9066
❑ School Public Information person acts as contact for emergency responders and assists school
spokesperson with coordinating media communications. If Public Information person is unavailable,
an alternate assumes responsibilities.
School Public Information person:
Name: Dr. Deborah Swensen Room #
Alternate Public Information person:
Name Kristi Kunz Room #
During an emergency, adhere to the following procedures:
❑ Incident Commander relays all factual information to Administrator.
❑ Administrator may ask school Public Information designee to prepare a written statement to media.
❑ Establish a media information center away from school.
❑ Update media regularly. Do not say "No comment".
❑ Do not argue with media.
❑ Maintain log of all telephone inquiries. Use scripted response to inquiries.
Media statement
❑ Create a general statement before an incident occurs. Adapt statement during crisis.
❑ Emphasize safety of students and staff first.
❑ Briefly describe school's plan for responding to emergency.
❑ Issue brief statement consisting only of the facts.
14
❑ Respect privacy of victim(s) and family of victim(s). Do not release names to media.
❑ Refrain from exaggerating or sensationalizing crisis.

TERRORIST EVENT
Weapons of mass destruction likely to be employed by terrorists fall into four basic categories: Nuclear,
Biological, Chemical, and Conventional. The below outlined procedures will protect students and staff
should such attacks occur.
Nuclear:
Defense against nuclear weapons depends primarily on distance from the point of detonation. If time
permits:
❑ Move students and staff to specifically identified basement or lower level rooms. Interior hallways
may be used as an alternate.
❑ Close all doors leading into hallways to minimize flying glass.
❑ All people assume the duck, cover and hold position on the ground.
❑ Shut down all utility systems to the building. (Gas and electricity are the priorities)
❑ Shelter in place to protect from fallout if attack is far enough away.
❑ Keep students and staff inside buildings. Allow parents to pick up their children at their own
discretion once cleared to do so by public safety, emergency management, or military
authorities
Biological:
Defense against biological attacks is difficult. Awareness of an attack is usually not possible for days or
weeks. The first signs may emerge as personnel notice a higher than usual incidence of various
symptoms. Should an attack be discovered while in progress the school should:
❑ Reverse-evacuate all people into school buildings.
❑ Shelter in place. (Do not use basements or low lying areas)
❑ Close all doors and windows.
❑ Shut down the HVAC system. (Limit airflow from outside)
❑ Seal doors, windows, and vents with plastic and duct tape.
❑ Keep students and staff inside buildings. Allow parents to pick up their children at their own
discretion once cleared to do so by public safety, emergency management, or military
authorities.
Chemical:
❑ Reverse-evacuate all people into school buildings.
❑ Shelter in place. (Do not use basements or low lying areas)
❑ Close all doors and windows.
❑ Shut down the HVAC system. (Limit airflow from outside)
❑ Seal doors, windows, and vents with plastic and duct tape,
❑ Be prepared to treat students and staff who experience a reaction to the chemical agent.
❑ The decision to evacuate should be made after consulting with public safety, emergency
management, or military authorities.
Conventional:
The danger from the blast effect of conventional explosive devices is similar to nuclear devices with a
higher rate of survivability. If responding to the threat of a imminent blast nearby:
40
❑ Move students and staff to specifically identified basement or lower level rooms. Interior hallways
may be used as an alternate.
❑ Close all doors leading into hallways to minimize flying glass.
❑ All people assume the duck, cover, and hold position on the ground.
❑ Shut down all utility systems to the building. (Gas and electricity are the priorities)
❑ Shelter in place to protect from fall out if attack is far enough away.
❑ Keep students and staff inside buildings. Allow parents to pick up their children at their own
discretion once cleared to do so by public safety, emergency management or military authorities
41
WEAPONS
❑ Notify office. Administrator will call police if a weapon is suspected to be in school.
❑ Ask another staff member or school resource officer (SRO), if applicable, to join you in questioning
suspected student or staff member.
❑ Accompany suspect to private office to wait for police.
❑ Conduct search with police or SRO.
❑ Have SRO or police Inform suspect of his/her rights and why you are conducting search.
❑ Keep detailed notes of all events and why search was conducted.
❑ Notify parent(s) or guardian(s) if suspect is a student. Explain why search was conducted and
results of the search.
❑ If suspect threatens you with a weapon, do not try to disarm them. Back away with your arms up.
Remain calm.
42
WEATHER

❑ Monitor Emergency Alert Stations (see EAS section) or NOAA Weather Stations (National Weather
Service, Weather Channel).
❑ Bring all persons inside building(s).
❑ Close windows and blinds.
❑ Review severe weather drill procedures and location of safe areas. Severe weather safe areas are
under desks and in hallways away from windows and large rooms.
❑ Review "drop, cover and hold" procedures with students.
Severe Weather Warning has been issued in an area near school or severe weather has been
spotted near school
❑ Shut off gas.
❑ Move students and staff to safe areas.
❑ Remind teachers to take class rosters.
❑ Ensure that students are in "drop, cover and hold" positions.
❑ Account for all students.
❑ Remain in safe area until warning expires or until emergency personnel have issued an all-clear
signal.
43
REUNIFICATION PLAN
❑ Parents will pick up their students at the designated location. Depending on the needs of the
situation, possible locations include school building or back field (primary location), the LDS Church
located at 9750 S 2200 W (secondary location ) or the LDS church just east of the school on 1945
West 9000 South.
❑ If reunification occurs inside the school, parents and guardians will enter via the front doors. If
reunification occurs on the back field, parents and guardians will enter at the south gate. If
reunification occurs at the secondary location, parents and guardians will enter at the front doors of
the church building. If reunification occurs at the tertiary location, parents and guardians will enter
at the front doors.
❑ Parents and guardians must present their identification at the designated reunification station setup
by the staff. Staff will be designated as scribes. (In the event a parent or guardian is not available
to pick up a student, emergency contacts as designated in Aspire may also pick up student. The
school will maintain paper copies of student contact information).
❑ Scribes will record all required information on the Student Release Form located in this document.
❑ Designated runners will verify the student’s information matches the information on the student
release form.
❑ Runners will retrieve students from their location and reunite them with their parents.
❏ Students not picked up after 6 hours will have parents contacted. If parents cannot be contacted,
emergency contacts will be notified to pick up student. Notes will be taken on who was contacted
and who picked up the student if the emergency contact picked up the student.

SAMPLE - EMERGENCY LETTER FOR PARENT
[Date]
Dear Parents:
Should an emergency or disaster situation ever arise in our area while school is in session, we want you to
be aware that the school has made preparations to respond effectively to such situations. In fact, public
schools in Utah are built to meet stringent construction standards, and they may be safer than your own
home in the event of a disaster.
Should we have a major disaster during school hours, your student(s) will be cared for at this school,
The school has a detailed disaster plan which has been formulated to respond to a major catastrophe.
Your cooperation is necessary in any emergency.
1. Do not telephone the school. Telephone lines may be needed for emergency communication.
2. In the event of a serious emergency, students will be kept at the school until they are picked up by an
identified, responsible adult who has been identified as such on an emergency card which is required
to be filled out by parents at the beginning of every school year. Please be sure you consider the
following criteria when you authorize another person to pick up your child at school:
■ He/she is 18 years of age or older.
■ He/she is usually home during the day.
■ He/she could walk to school, if necessary.
■ He/she is known to your child.
■ He/she is both aware and able to assume this responsibility.
3. Turn your radio to 1160am for emergency announcements. If students are to be kept at school, radio
stations will be notified. Impress upon your children the need for them to follow the directions of any
school personnel in times of an emergency.
Students will be released only to parents and persons identified on the School Emergency Card. During an
extreme emergency, students will be released at designated reunion gates located on school grounds.
Parents should become familiar with the School Emergency Disaster Plan and be patient and
understanding with the student release process. Please instruct your student to remain at school until you
or a designee arrives. Because local telephone service may be disrupted, also list an out-of-state contact
on the emergency card, as calls may still be made out of the area while incoming calls are affected.
51
The decision to keep students at school will be based upon whether or not streets in the area are open. If
this occurs, radio stations will be notified.
In case of a hazardous release event (chemical spill) near the school area, Shelter-in-Place procedures will
be implemented to provide in place protection. All students and staff will clear the fields, report to their
rooms and all efforts will be made to prevent outside air from entering classrooms during the emergency.
"Shelter-in-Place" signs will be placed in classroom windows or hung outside classroom doors during a drill
or emergency. Students arriving at school during a Shelter-in-Place drill or event should report to the school
office or to a previously designated area at the school because classrooms will be inaccessible. When the
dangerous incident has subsided, an all-clear signal will be given.
Please discuss these matters with your immediate family. Planning ahead will help alleviate concern during
emergencies.
Sincerely,
______________________________
