AUSD Emergency Communication Process

Emergency Communication Process

Updated: 9/23/16

Outlined below is the process that will be used to notify families, students, staff, and community members about

an emergency - during school hours, after-hours, or on the weekend.

● Families will receive automated *phone calls and emails from the district stating;

1) A description of the emergency, 2) The status of the situation; and 3) Details on what communication

methods will be used to provide additional information as it becomes available.

● Accurate and confirmed information will be posted on the AUSD website, the AUSD Facebook page, or the

AUSD Twitter account.

● If an emergency takes place during school hours, you may receive a text or call from a student before AUSD

can release accurate and confirmed information. Please turn to the AUSD communication methods outlined

above for accurate, updated and confirmed information.

● If an emergency takes place during school hours, staff will be given direction and receive updates from the

site administrators and/or District administration. If an emergency takes place during non-school hours, staff

will be notified by email.

Please ask the school secretary to assist you if:

1) You did not receive an automated phone call or email reminding you about the recent Back to School Night

your student’s school; 2) You do not currently receive any automated phone calls or emails from the district or

school; and/or 3) You do not know how to access the AUSD website, the AUSD Facebook page, or the AUSD

Twitter account.

* Families will receive automated phone calls to all provided primary & secondary numbers.

If you have any questions about this communication, please call me directly at (510) 558-3766 or email me at

[email protected].
