The Town of High Prairie is currently on a 4-hour evacuation alert, with a number of areas surrounding the town on similar evacuation alerts. Schools remain open at this time. Busing into High Prairie schools will be cancelled for the remainder of this week, May 15-18. May 19 (Friday) is a day in lieu or a PD day (no school for students).
The following is the HPSD evacuation plan for students in High Prairie schools.
1-Hour Evacuation Alert
If the Town of High Prairie is put on a 1-hour evacuation alert, we will notify all parents of the change in evacuation status. If we move to an evacuation order, all students will be evacuated on school buses to the designated evacuation centre.
Evacuation Order
All students in High Prairie will be evacuated on school buses to the designated evacuation centre. This site is chosen by fire officials. Parents must pick up students from the evacuation centre.
Buses are on-site at schools, and drivers are on standby. If we evacuate schools, school staff on buses will be following student release procedures to ensure students are safely released to parents/guardians listed on file at their child’s school. Student release procedures can be found on our website.
We will continue to update you if the situation changes.
