Emergency DOs

Prepare in advance...

Emergency DON'Ts

If something happens...
  • Bookmark our website We will post the latest available information on our homepage. Check back frequently for updates and instructions on when and where you can pick up your child if parent pick-up is necessary.
  • Follow Us On Social Media We post immediately on our social media pages.  Search for Oak Harbor Public Schools or find us at @OakHarborPS
  • Get Connected Having accurate and updated information is critical. Call our schools if your Skyward information is outdated. Don't wait, call today! Please don’t call during an emergency.
  
  • Don't rush to the school Going to campus may put you or your child at great risk. Additional people on the scene distract first responders from their primary job – student safety. Instead, check our Facebook page, website, Twitter feed, email, or phone for information and instructions.
  • Don’t call the school or district office
    Resources are stretched thin during emergencies. Incoming calls take away from our ability to get updates to you through our website, email, and phone calls. Staff and students will be trained on the proper use of cell phones in emergency situations. They will be instructed to text family members when it is safe and to provide regular updates throughout the duration of the emergency event.
