TELEPHONE TREE PRACTICE Monday 20th October
All YIS parents have been placed on our telephone tree. This is designed to be a rapid way to contact all parents in an emergency situation.
It works like this:
· 1. In the case of an emergency the Principal may decide that all children need to leave the school so all parents need to be contacted as quickly as possible.
· 2. The Principal telephones or text messages those people directly in line on the telephone tree to inform them of the emergency situation.
· 3. Those people then contact the next people on the line and, if the message was by text, you need to contact the principal or the sender to say you have received the message.
Number 3 above is very important because we will then know that the telephone tree has worked and everyone has the message.
PRACTICE
We will have a practice run of this phone tree on Monday 20th October.
When you receive a message please pass it on promptly and we’ll time how quickly the process takes.
Parents should have the numbers of the people they need to contact stored on their telephones.
