Find Out How Schools Prepare for Emergencies
Wood River Middle School and Hailey Elementary will be involved in a full-scale drill on Friday, December 11. The purpose of the drill is to practice the safe evacuation of students and parent/student reunification. The non-violent scenario includes using the Incident Command System and the Standard Response Protocol. This full-scale exercise will involve parent and staff volunteers, as well as observers from local emergency management, including the Hailey Police and Fire Departments. Elementary schools do not have students that day due to parent/teacher conferences. If you are a WRMS parent and would like to volunteer to be part of the drill, please contact WRMS at 578-5030.
