Emergency Response Plan

The safety and health of students and staff is our highest priority. The District and every Marana school has a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan, aligned with state and national school safety protocols, which provides step-by-step guidelines for maximizing safety, efficiency, and communication.

Practice Emergency Drills are regularly each school and parents will receive an email when a drill has occurred. Drills provide students and staff with the opportunity to practice walking through emergency response actions for a variety of scenarios,  emphasizing safety, communication, where to report and what to do in the event of an emergency.

What to know during an Emergency:

  • Do not contact the school or their student during an emergency to keep phone lines free for emergency use.
  • Do not come to the school during an emergency, and keep the area clear for emergency personnel.  Students will not be released while the emergency remains active. 
  • Parents/guardians will be contacted by school personnel in an emergency directly involving their student.
  • Remind student of the importance of following the directions of their teachers and public safety officials.

In an emergency situation, information will be provided via email, often called "Safety Notices," as well as phone or text message, on the maranausd.org website, and through the news media.

Students will only be released to parent(s) or authorized individuals identified on the student’s MUSD Health/Emergency Information Form. Parents/guardians are encouraged to contact the school during the year if there are any changes to this information.
