View Ridge Major Disaster Student Release Process

We are focused on your child’s safety:  

• Please stay calm, support each other, and give us time to set up.
• Our plan is most efficient when you let us do our jobs without interruptions.
• No student will be released to an *unapproved or unverified adult.
• We document every student who is checked out, who they went with, and where they went.

(Medically trained people who want to aid injured students need to show verification of medical skills and photo ID to the “check-out” staff for approval.)

Parents and Authorized Adults

All materials you’ll need are in bins on the church driveway

1: Bring photo ID with you.  

Walk to church parking lot on 48th ave NE. Access only allowed by foot from NE 70th St. No cars will be allowed in the church parking lot since it will be filled with people. 

2. Make a last name sign. ONLY write your child’s last name. Print neatly with LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS. (Add a symbol/design if the last name is common)

Process for Student Releases

Regular Student Release: Please sign your child out in the office. Office staff will contact the appropriate teacher, and your child will meet you in the office.

Mass Release Within the School Building: If there is a situation where the whole school will be released early, and the building is safe to remain within, the office will likely be overwhelmed with parents signing out their student/s. In this case, go to your child/s classroom, show photo ID, and sign the teacher’s school release form.

Mass Release outside the School Building: Please refer to the directions listed above. You can print a copy to keep with you.
