ICMS has made a conscious decision to implement and maintain an Emergency Preparedness resource. We are committed to this process so we are prepared for any emergency be it wind or snow storms, power outages or earthquakes. We want the children and their parents to know they are safe, dry, warm and fed until you or an assigned emergency person can pick them up. At this time, we have stock piled food, water, medical supplies, shelter, toilet and cooking facilities for 30 children and 4 adults. Each fall, these supplies are updated and refreshed using a portion of the material fees paid by each family.
Included in the forms to return to school, you will find two forms specific to Emergency Prep. Below is a list of items to place in a small plastic bag. These bags will be stored
with the other supplies specific to emergency preparedness. All items will be returned, intact, at the end of the school year.
PLEASE PLACE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN A SMALL PLASTIC BAG (1GALLOIN SIZE-ZIPLOC) AND RETURN TO THE SCHOOL WITH THE APPROPRIATE FORMS BY OCTOBER 1ST.
- Comfort item from home: Family picture, stuffed animal, small special toy or book, a note from parent. Anything that would bring your child comfort.
- Easily eaten food: a granola bar, dried fruit, meat jerky, fruit leather, etc. A snack food that keep and needs no preparation. Think easily eaten foods that would give your child comfort. This is just for an immediate snack–more for comfort–until we can get the other foods ready.
- One large plastic bag: makes a great rain poncho
- Any special medications with written instructions: bee sting kit, inhaler, etc. in addition to regularly taken medications.
- Complete set of underwear: we are stocked with some extra clothes, but if you would like to send your child’s own clothes, please do. Think warm and dry. Ideally these items would all fit in a 1 gallon Ziploc bag
PLEASE LABEL THE OUTSIDE OF THE BAG WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME.
