RE-1 Valley School District to Test Reunification Plan

On Wednesday, September 19, 2012, RE-1 Valley School District will test the Reunification portion of its Safety Response Plan with several area emergency response agencies in a Reunification Exercise scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Community members may see personnel and vehicles from Sterling Fire Department, Sterling Police Department/Ambulance, Sterling Correctional Facility, Office of Emergency Management, Northeast Colorado Health Department or Logan County Sheriff’s Office in the area of Sterling Middle School and Sterling High School.

Due to the Reunification Exercise, there will be no school for Sterling Middle School students on September 19, 2012; all other District buildings will be open with normal operating hours.

Parents are reminded to keep their child’s emergency contact information current and that, in the event of an actual Reunification, a photo ID will be required for the authorized individual(s) to pick up any student. Information is on the District’s website about what to expect in an actual situation if a school, or all the schools in the District, find it necessary to release students outside normal school hours.
