The Washington County School District is committed to providing a safe environment for students, staff and visitors. The school district conducts annual emergency preparedness audits of all school facilities in accordance with Utah State Code.

Together we have developed a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan that covers a wide variety of emergencies that serves as a guide to help staff and our public safety partners respond swiftly should a crisis occur in our school.
During an emergency, it is critical that parents receive important information and direction from school officials before going to the school or scene of an emergency. You can be confident that accurate and timely information will be released to parents, the public, and the media during any school emergency.
