Pendergast Elementary School

Pendergast Elementary School District and its twelve campuses are committed to creating safe and secure environments for learning. To this end, each school within the District, as well as the District Office, has crisis management guidelines and a comprehensive plan designed to inform staff and students of what to do in the event of an emergency. The plans are based on the State of Arizona's Emergency Response Plan. The District's Crisis Manual contains vital information necessary to assist in any emergency situation. In addition to the manual, each school and the District Office have Crisis Response Teams that are mobilized in the event of an emergency to assist in providing information to the students, staff, families and community. Fire and lockdown drills are practiced regularly at each site to ensure that routines and safety procedures are well established and familiar to all. Parents / guardians can expect effective and efficient information communicated in a timely manner regarding school-related situations that may occur on campus. In the event of a school or District emergency, parents will be notified in the following ways: With a message sent home in the school newsletter With a special parent advisory sent home from the school; and/or With a call, email text and website posting from our Emergency Messaging System If you have any questions or would like further information, contact: Regina Robles, Risk Management Supervisor Phone: (623) 772-2215 Email: [email protected]
