Safety at Kenter
Kenter Canyon takes the safety of its children very seriously. We are partners with our parents in making sure that every child has what they need in the event of an emergency. It is very important that all information and supplies mentioned are on campus for your child.
Please be sure you have filled out a yellow "Emergency Information Card" and listed medical information, contact telephone numbers and have signed both sides of the card. Please keep the Emergency Card up-to-date at all times. When you or anyone listed on your emergency card changes their address or telephone number, please notify the school immediately.
Sometimes emergencies arise with your child and we need to be able to reach you. In the event that a parent or legal guardian cannot be reached, the school will call the relative or friend authorized on the emergency information card. When we are unable to reach you or the people listed on your emergency card, we are required by state law to then call for emergency assistance from an approved list of facilities.
You will need to provide a “comfort kit” for your child.
In the event that an emergency or natural disaster where you child would need to remain on campus should occur, please feel confident that your child will be safe. Our emergency supplies are above and beyond what is required by LAUSD. In 2004, with funds from our Parent Support Group, the school wide emergency container was completely updated. Kenter has on hand, basic supplies such as, food, water, extensive first aid, blankets and more emergency related items. Volunteers coordinate updating the emergency supplies each year. Additional, each teacher has their own supply of water, food, flashlights, walkie-talkies and medical supplies in the classroom.
We review and reassess our emergency preparedness plan continually to make sure that all staff members are knowledgeable and prepared. Fire drills and other emergency exercises are held on a regular basis, and students learn how to respond to emergency signals.
In case of an emergency, the campus will be closed and children will be excused only to people who are listed on their emergency cards.
