Missing Child/Student Release

 

If a Student is Lost or Missing:

• Remain calm.

• Immediately search the entire room for the student (i.e. closets, under desks, tables, etc.).

• Ask other students if they know where the student may be.

• Report the missing student to the office.

• Furnish a physical description and clothing information (age, height, weight, hair color, eye color, color of shirt/pants/coat, medical status if appropriate, etc.).

• Advise the school administrator of any problems that are known to you regarding the student.

 

Release of Children from School Grounds:

Saint Paul Public Schools Policy states:

• Students may only be released through the office (this includes parents).

• Students picked up by anyone other than their custodial parent(s)/guardian must make arrangements ahead of time.

• Staff will not release a student to anyone other than a parent or guardian unless it is clear that the guardian or parent has approved this or would approve if able.

• The school staff reserves the right to ask for proper identification before releasing any student.

 

Stranger Alert:

• If students, staff, or parents report a stranger loitering on or around school property, or following students between home and school, report it immediately to the office.

 

Abduction:

• Remain calm.

• Report student abduction or attempted abduction, to the office immediately.

• Note the person’s appearance and any other information about him or her (voice, clothing, vehicle type and color, license plate number, etc.) that might be helpful to police.

• Treat custody dispute problems as a possible student abduction.
