REUNIFICATION DRILL




Dear Parents/Guardians,

On Friday, May 4, 2018, Ogden Preparatory Academy will participate in a reunification drill. This will begin as soon school gets out at 12:45. In order to pick up your student(s), you will need to have a valid, government issued ID and a completed Reunification Card. Your student has been sent home with a Reunification Card. You may also pick one up in the front office before or at the reunification drill. You can put multiple students on one card. However, you will need a different card for each building.
When you get to the school during the drill, please do the following:
  1. Make sure you have your ID and your completed Reunification Card
  2. Get your Reunification Card checked and signed at the Check desk.
    1. Students will only be released to individuals who are listed on the student’s Aspire contact list. Be sure to update your Aspire contact list before the drill.
  3. After your card is checked and initialed by a checker, you will take your card to a runner (they will be shown to you at the drill).
  4. Go with the runner to the reunification area and wait for them to bring your student(s) to you.

In order to make the drill go as smoothly as possible, we ask that you follow the “last name” schedule below to come and pick up your student(s):

12:45-1:15 - A-E
1:15-1:45 - F-J
1:45-2:15 - K-O

*Students will not be released outside of the protocols of the drill! The drill ends at approximately 3:45. Students who walk home will only be released at that time.

Su estudiante ha sido enviado a casa con una Tarjeta de Reunificación. También puede recoger una en la oficina antes o durante el simulacro de reunificación.

"Leaders Never Stop Learning" ~ Christine Caine

Dear Parents and Students,

This Friday, April 20th, is OPAPO's Spring Family Night and the Spanish Museum Night! Come enjoy Food Trucks, Games, Raffle Prizes, a Dunk Tank, along with the celebration of Spanish activities of the year. Activities begin at 4 p.m. and end at 7 p.m..

OPA REUNIFICATION

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

 Local law enforcement officials and State educational leadership have set expectations for schools to prepare for circumstances requiring parents to pick up their students in a formal, controlled release. This process is called Reunification.  Reunification will only occur in extreme situations and may occur at the school or a different location. Reunification protects the safety of the students and provides for an accountable change of custody from the school to a recognized custodial parent or guardian. 

 During Reunification, the school will hold students until parents or guardians can pick up their student(s). Please make every attempt to pick up your child as soon as possible.  Students will only be released to parents/guardians or individuals previously identified as a student’s emergency contact in Aspire. Please update your student’s contact and release information including daycares and carpools. Contact information can be updated through your Aspire account or by contacting the front office. 

 Reunification Process:

 1. Parents will be notified of a Reunification and location through the OneCall system.  Please make sure that we have your correct and preferred phone numbers. If possible, students may be asked to contact parents.
2. Parents will go to the Reunification “Check In” area and wait for the next available checker.
     a. Bring identification.
     b. Be patient.
     c.  Fill out a Reunification card. Cards are available at the front office. 
     d. Follow the instructions of school personnel.

 3. Identification and pick-up permissions will be confirmed by the checkers.
4. Parents will be redirected to the “reunification area”.
5. A runner will take the card and gather the student(s).
6. In some cases, parents may be taken to another location for further information, advised that law enforcement investigation is underway, or pulled aside for emergency or medical information.

 The process must be repeated for students in each location.

 When picking up students, please:
  • Be aware of traffic and emergency vehicles.
  • Park where indicated.
  • Stay calm and patient.
  • Complete ALL parts of the Reunification card.

 A STUDENT WILL ONLY BE RELEASED TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO APPEARS ON THE STUDENT'S ASPIRE CONTACT LIST AND HAS PROOF OF IDENTIFICATION. 

 We appreciate your support as we work to ensure the safety of our students. If you have any questions please contact us. We will be happy to help you understand this process.


SAGE TESTING

Sage Testing for Math and Science is scheduled to start next week, on April 23rd, 25th, 30th, and May 2nd. Please have those dates on the calendar to minimize any tardies and absences on those dates.
