Emergency Prep is the liaison between the District Emprep group and our school to make sure we are organized, informed and prepared. As the lead you attend monthly meeting with other Emprep chairs from around the district to learn about how to prepare the school (https://www.lwptsa.net/emergency-prep/).

 

This position works directly with the staff at Alcott to make sure everything is in place and all items and materials are ordered, stocked, current and organized. You will have a budget to provide educational events about emergency preparedness to Alcott families.

 

For 2022-23 school year, Emprep leads and chairs will be working with the district to make sure that room numbers are posted in school interiors, as well as helping to make black-out window coverings for all classrooms.
