  • Secure Schools Notice
    EMMETT INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT #221 Wayne Rush, Superintendent KNOW YOUR TERMINOLOGY For Securing Our Schools Using the same Terminology throughout the district is critical in situations that impact the safety of students and staff. Three plain language terms are used by schools, police, and members of the media during such events. “Lockdown” “Hold and Secure” “Shelter in Place” "Lockdown" is used when there is a major immediate threat of serious violence inside the school or on school property. Classroom doors will be locked and students are moved to a safe area in the classroom. All movement in and out of the school and within the school is restricted. Outside doors are to be locked, except in the case where the threat is already in the building. "Hold and Secure" is used to secure the school due to an ongoing situation outside the school that requires all persons to remain in the building. Examples may include a bank robbery or domestic situation near a school. The school continues to function normally, with the exterior doors locked until the situation is resolved. Staff member posted near each entrance to ensure no one leaves the building. All movement in and out of the school is restricted. Notification of situation may come from local law enforcement or school employees. "Shelter in Place" is used for an environmental, or weather related situation, where it is necessary to keep all occupants within the school for their protection. This response may be recommended by Police, Fire Department, EMS, etc. Examples may include chemical spills, blackouts, explosions, or extreme weather conditions.

BRADY Providence, RI 02903-4045 Superintendent tel. 401.456.9211 fax 401.456.9252 December 3, 2008 Dear Parents and Guardians: The winter season is here. I want to make sure that you are informed about Providence School’s decision-making process and procedures that we follow in the event of inclement weather. HOW IS THE DECISION MADE TO CLOSE SCHOOL, DELAY OPENING OR RELEASE EARLY? As superintendent of schools, I am responsible for making these decisions, with recommendations from my operations, transportation and facilities staffs. We make these decisions based on a careful analysis of relevant factors, such as: information on road conditions from transportation staff and from the police; amount of snow and ice accumulated, or flooding; temperature and wind factor; weather predictions; parking lot conditions; whether our buildings have electricity and heat; and what other school districts are doing. HOW ARE PARENTS AND FAMILIES NOTIFIED? We will continue to utilize our telephone notification system to let parents know about school closings, delays or early releases. This information will also be posted at www.providenceschools.org and communicated through the following media outlets affiliated with the Rhode Island Broadcasters Association: TELEVISION: FM RADIO: AM RADIO: WLNE (ABC – Channel 6) WPRO FM 92.3 WJZS FM 99.3 WPRO AM 630 WJAR (NBC – Channel 10) WSNE FM 93.3 Latina FM 100.3 (Spanish) WSKO AM 790 WPRI (CBS – Channel 12) WHJY FM 94.1 WWBB FM 101.5 WHJJ AM 920 WSBE (PBS – Channel 36) WBRU FM 95.5 WRNI FM 102.7 WPMZ (Poder) AM 1110 (Spanish) Telemundo 50 (Spanish) WCRI FM 95.9 WEEI FM 103.7 WRIB AM 1220 WNAC (FOX – Channel 64) WCTK FM 98.1 WWLI FM 105.1 WOON AM 1240 WWKX FM 106.3 WRNI AM 1290 WNBH AM 1340 WNRI AM 1380 WADK AM 1540 WARV AM 1590 WHEN IS THE DECISION MADE TO CLOSE SCHOOL?

  • October 1, 2020 Fifty Years Ago Today, I Earned My First Paid Byline. Made
    October 1, 2020 Fifty years ago today, I earned my first paid byline. Made $10. But it might as well have been a million. I had been tapped—well, I was probably the only kid to ask—to cover the Avengers of East Greenwich High School for the too-grandly-named Rhode Island Pendulum (the paper actually only covered East Greenwich, a town of about 10,000 on the western shore of Narragansett Bay). I began my reporting career at that 4,000-subscriber weekly newspaper, and ended it at a 4 million-subscriber weekly newsmagazine. In between were more than 40 years of great stories, great people (some morons, too) and great memories. This stream-of-consciousness is simply one reporter’s take on the fate of his crumbling business as seen atop a half-century’s worth of notebooks. I started out by sitting in front of a convoy of clackety- clack manual typewriters. A much quieter ECRM CRT word processor. Followed by a primitive TI 700 computer, complete with that unspooling roll of thermal paper. Then a TeleRam Portabubble, followed by a Radio Shack TRS (“Trash,” to its fans) 80, to some Toshiba and other Stone Age machines, before landing behind a Mac 25 years ago, upon which, several Apple generations later, this is being typed (I’m sure there’s a couple of technological flashes-in- the-platen I’ve missed, and thankfully forgotten). From Rhode Island to Pontiac, Michigan, to Washington, D.C., in 1979, for the Fort Worth Star- Telegram. Then it was on to the glorious Knight- Ridder D.C.
