School Safety & Communication: What to Expect This Year
As we begin the new school year, Huron Valley Schools has made extensive preparations to effectively respond to emergency situations in or around your child’s school. Our top priority remains the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community.
Our Approach to School Safety
Our staff is thoroughly trained in emergency protocols, and students will participate in safety education and regular drills throughout the year to ensure readiness.
In the event of an incident, we are committed to keeping families informed when student safety, well-being, or the learning environment may be impacted.
When Will We Communicate?
We will notify families once all students and staff are safe and we have accurate, verified information to share. The timing and type of communication will depend on the nature of the situation.
Immediate Threats: You’ll be notified as soon as possible if student safety is at risk or the school day is significantly disrupted.
Minor Incidents: Events like a shelter-in-place for a medical issue may not prompt a communication unless it impacts the broader school or district.
Important Reminders
Communication may be school-specific and not shared district-wide.
You may hear from your child or see social media posts before official communication is released, as our priority is gathering facts and coordinating with staff and emergency responders.
Posts not from the district or law enforcement may be inaccurate—please rely on official sources.
What You Can Expect from Us
Timeliness: We aim to share information promptly, balancing accuracy with urgency.
Transparency: We'll provide as much detail as possible, within legal and safety boundaries.
Support: Resources and assistance will be offered when appropriate.
How We’ll Communicate

Email – For detailed updates.
Text Alerts – For urgent messages.
Robo Calls – For key updates at the school or district level.
Website & Social Media – For ongoing information and resources.
