In the event of an emergency our first concern in the Trenton Public Schools is the safety of our children and staff. We work with our local government, police, fire and rescue groups to develop plans to effectively respond to any situation that may occur. We are fortunate to have a safety net of dedicated public servants who are always willing to work with our schools on behalf of our students.

Preparedness is something we all need to practice as individuals and as families. The READY OR NOT program has compiled, in one easy to use location, an array of web sites that provide resources that can be used in time of emergency. From national resources to first aid tips, this is a comprehensive guide that can be used to develop your own family plans.

We know that during a natural disaster there might be loss of power which will result in the loss of most forms of communications. If only for that reason, it is imperative to plan ahead. Browse this web site and note important information that can be used in time of emergency. We encourage everyone to review the “Family Links” section which provides simple pointers that will help every family and individual develop a personal plan.

The two most important things a parent can do are to make certain your child’s school has up-to-date emergency contact information, and to periodically review with your child alternative arrangements you have made in case an emergency prevents you from being home. Be assured that the District is well prepared to deal with any and all emergencies that may arise, and that the safety of our students is our number one priority. Over the next several weeks we will be adding crucial information regarding our local resources available to the residents of Trenton. Please be patient as we work toward full implementation. Visit the site often to take note of the most recent updates.
