In these very unsettling times, it was necessary to create plans for various emergency situations. As a team, the Administration, Faculty, and Staff are dedicated to keeping the children of Immaculate Heart of Mary School safe.
LOCKDOWN:  Should a lockdown be necessary, students will remain in their classrooms or whatever classroom they are in at the time of the emergency. Water and snack food will be made available should we need to remain for any length of time. All rooms are equipped with radios and emergency materials.
*** Please listen to WBAL Radio for details during an emergency situation. DO NOT CALL SCHOOL! The phone lines will be busy.
*** DO NOT RUSH TO SCHOOL! During a CODE RED, remain in a safe place until you hear it is safe to venture out. Upon arriving at school, have ID ready. No student will be released to anyone without the proper identification. Only you may take your child unless you have supplied names on your emergency papers. Everyone will have ID checked.
EVACUATION: If it is necessary to leave the school, all students will be walked to Babcock Presbyterian Church on Loch Raven Blvd. All precautions will be exercised to keep the children safe and calm. NO students will be released during the walk. All children will be gathered at Babcock and ID must be shown to get your child. All emergency sheets will be checked for names to release a child.
*** Please follow the above directions and listen to WBAL Radio for details during an emergency. Remember, keep yourself safe. Your child needs you!
It is our sincere hope that none of these measures will ever have to be taken!         

                                                              Pray for Peace!
