BMEC Emergency “DRILL & PRACTICE”

Heath Renninger — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:17:34 +0000

Dear BMEC Families,

On Wednesday, February 20th at approximately 10:35am, Blue Mountain Elementary Cressona
practiced an emergency drill. The purpose of this drill was to prepare our students and staff for any emergency that may occur, making it necessary for us to lock
down classrooms and/or the entire building.

Please take time to discuss with your child the importance of staying calm and following the procedures during any emergency drill.

If you have questions or concerns about school procedures please contact Ms. Renninger or myself at (570) 385-5580

Have a great day,
Mr. Renninger
BMEC Principal

MESSAGE FROM YOUR SCHOOL NURSE

Robin Owens — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 17:45:51 +0000

Governor Corbett announced on November 9th that PennDOT is launching two voluntary programs aimed at saving lives in emergency situations-the Yellow Dot and Emergency Contact Information programs.
Participants in the Yellow Dot program fill out the form with their emergency contact, medical contact and medical information, insert it in the program’s folder and place it in their vehicle’s glove compartment.
Participants then place a yellow dot sticker on their vehicle’s rear window. This sticker alerts emergency responders to check the glove compartment for the folder.

The Emergency Contact Information program offers Pennsylvania driver’s licensed and PennDOT-issued ID holders the opportunity to log into a secure database and list two emergency contacts. Customers can
update the information as needed, but only law enforcement officials can view their information in the system. In the event of an emergency, law enforcement can use the participant’s ID to find their emergency
contact information.

To learn more about the Yellow Dot program, to sign up for a program folder or to find locations where program materials can be picked up, visit www.YellowDot.pa.gov. To sign up for the Emergency Contact Information
program, visit www.dmv.state.pa.us and click on the program icon.

Good afternoon,

A small group of parents from the Cressona/West area have decided to take it upon themselves to take up a collection for the New Jersey/New York area victims of Hurricane Sandy. The BMEC main lobby and BMEW west entrance will be a drop off point for this collection until 3:00PM Thursday, November 8th. Items being requested are: water, non-perishables, blankets, c & d batteries, cleaning supplies, garbage bags, diapers and baby food. The collected items will be picked up at the schools and delivered to Thompson Park on Newman Springs Road in Lincroft, New Jersey. At this point the items will then be dispersed to three other locations around the affected areas.

Thank you,

Mr. Renninger
