In An Emergency

Emergency Procedures


WISD has comprehensive emergency procedure plans in place. The Director of Safety and Security works closely with each campus and local public safety agencies on contingency planning and ensuring the proper response of necessary emergency services. This partnership stands ready to address any situation that may arise.

  • WISD Schools Utilize Texas Standard Response Protocol

In the event of an emergency at your student’s school, WISD utilizes the Texas Standard Response Protocol for situations including:

  • Hold: Students are secured inside the school when there is an outside event within close proximity to the school

  • Secure: All perimeter doors are locked; nobody in or out

  • Lockdown: All perimeter doors are locked, and students are secured into rooms

  • Shelter: Students are secured inside the building in the event of a weather-related event

  • Evacuation: Students are evacuated away from the school to a safe location

During an emergency event, parents will be notified via the District’s notification system (Notify). Please make sure your student/family contact information is updated in Skyward as the School Messenger notification system utilizes the phone numbers stored in kyward. Please note that you must contact the school office in order to update your contact information stored in Skyward.
