Parents: When an emergency occurs, a school’s first priority is to attend to the safety of its students.

Did you know that by refraining from rushing to the school, you are actually helping to keep your child safe?

Additional people at an emergency scene divert valuable resources from students in need, can compromise the response, and depending on the emergency, put you at risk.

Your cooperation in allowing emergency responders and school staff to manage the situation efficiently is greatly appreciated, as it ensures the best possible outcome for all students involved.

Parents play a vital role in school safety.

Parents are the heart and soul of their child’s educational journey, a role that extends well beyond the classroom.

At Hour-Zero, we deeply appreciate the crucial part parents like you play in their children’s lives, particularly when it comes to their safety at school.

That’s why we’ve curated a specialized collection of resources designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to gain a better understanding of your school’s safety plans and initiatives.

The resources encompass informative materials and concise training courses, all aimed at ensuring you are well-informed about your child’s school’s emergency plans and protocols.

These resources are completely free to parents whose children attend a school using the Hour-Zero program.

Whether you have questions about what to do during an emergency, seek clarification on specific protocols, or need resources to help you have a constructive conversation with your child about school safety, we have resources readily available to assist you on this important journey.
