Classroom Preparedness Kit

Many School Crisis Teams in Vermont have decided to outfit each classroom teacher with an emergency backpack or kit known as a “Classroom Preparedness Kit”. This bag is filled with materials that are necessary and some that are useful in supervising students for an extended period of time.

These materials are essential for student safety:  Whistle  Blanket  Laptop with access to School Emergency Operations Plan  Hard-copy student roster & contact information  Emergency medical information for students, including allergies.  A safety vest or hat  Substitute teacher information for emergencies  Portable radios for local communication

These materials are suggestions from School Crisis Teams:  A clip board  Teacher assignment sheet  Activity cards or activity packet  A reading book  Snacks  A tarp or cover for shelter  Map of the school  Micro-cell for access to the internet
