Student and Parent Reunification
Sometimes, events require parents to pick up students in a controlled release. This process is called “reunification. Weather, a power outage, a hazmat issue, or a crisis can be reasons for a reunification or controlled release process.
Reunification is a protocol that makes this process more predictable and less chaotic for all involved. A controlled release is not a typical event, and reunification could occur at a different location than the school a student attends.
Notification of a Student and Parent Reunification
Parents and guardians may be notified in several ways. The school or district office personnel may use electronic text notification, auto-dialer system, or both. In some cases, students might be asked to text their parents as well.
