Dear Parents/Guardians:

In case we need to evacuate Jack Hulland Elementary School in an emergency, our alternate gathering places are The Guild Hall or Porter Creek Secondary School. 

Because Yukon is located in an earthquake-prone area, and other natural or physical plan emergencies can occur which require us to evacuate the school, we want to remind you that, in the case of such an event, the following procedures will be followed.
  • The school will remain responsible for all students for the hours designated in a normal school day, unless directed to dismiss students by an Emergency Measures authority.
  • If we are directed to dismiss students, no student will be dismissed from school unless a parent or designated guardian comes for them; no student will be allowed to walk or bike home alone.
  • No child will be allowed to leave with another person, even a relative or babysitter, unless we have written or verbal permission to that effect or that particular person is listed as the students’ emergency contact. With this in mind, if your child’s information is not up-to-date, please call the office as soon as possible.
  • All parents or designated guardians who come to pick up students, must sign the student out with the classroom teacher or the designated marshall at the alternate site Student Release station.T his is critical so that we can ensure all students are accounted for and remain safe.
We are prepared to care for children in the event of a critical situation, or if parents or guardians are not able to reach the school.  We have a number of people with first aid certifications, and we will be in communication with local emergency services, as required.  We do ask for your help in the following areas:
  • DO turn on your radio to CBC (570) or CKRW (610 on the AM dial, or CHON (98.1) on the FM dial; information and directions will be given over the radio.
  • DO NOT call the school please; we must have the lines open for emergency calls.
  • DO NOT immediately drive to the school following an earthquake or other city-wide emergency; streets and access to our school may be cluttered with debris; the school access routes and street entrance areas must remain clear for emergency vehicles.
