Carlmont High School takes the responsibility of student safety very seriously.

We have an emergency plan in place and staff is instructed on emergency procedures every year. We have a safety committee that meets at least once a month. 

We conduct at least two drills per year as required by law. We attempt to have at least four drills a year.

As a member of the Safe Schools Committee, I meet with the surrounding schools and the Belmont Police Department to discuss school safety.

As a parent, you have an important role to play in working with Carlmont during an emergency.

It is important that you adhere to the following procedures when you hear of an emergency at Carlmont High School.

In the case of a school emergency-what parents should do:

Preparedness begins at home:

Develop and practice a family disaster plan and discuss with your student(s) what your role will be if Carlmont experiences an emergency.

Have your students memorize important family information: name, address and phone numbers.

In regards to the school, please follow these instructions:

 

  DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL - Turn your radio to KCBS 740 to get information of a pending emergency in the area. Our school phone lines must be kept open for emergency communication and Administration and staff will be busy assuring the safety of your student(s) and should not have to be answering calls from parents during an emergency.

  DO NOT DRIVE TO THE SCHOOL- Parents cars could seriously impede the ability of emergency vehicles responding to our call to get to and onto our campus.  Your students need to understand that you are not going to be immediately coming to the school to retrieve them.

  STAY AT HOME OR AT WORK- Once you have left your house or place of employment it becomes increasingly difficult for us to be in communication with you and you may get stranded or injured yourself on the way.

  WHEN IT IS SAFE TO TRAVEL TO THE SCHOOL- Carlmont will set up a student release center when your student is allowed to leave.  Please do not remove any student from campus unless you are listed on the emergency release form.  Our staff and Administration will be attempting to account for all students at all times.  When you are arrive at the school to retrieve your student(s) please make sure that you have signed them out so that we are assured that they were accounted for and left safely with the appropriate guardian.

 

Following these instructions will assist us at Carlmont High School in implementing and conducting an effective emergency procedure should one occur at Carlmont High School.

 

Please sign up for our “Rapid Notify” emergency text alert system on our website. In the event of a serious incident on campus you will automatically receive a text message and/or phone message on the numbers that you provide us.  Look for this “Rapid Notify” entry form at the bottom of any Carlmont website page.

New Principals Announced

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE               

Contact:  Bettylu Smith                                                                                    

Sequoia Union High School District                                                                                    (650) 369-1411, ext. 2361 

SEQUOIA DISTRICT NAMES PRINCIPALS AT CARLMONT, SEQUOIA HIGH SCHOOLS REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 22, 2009 - Superintendent Pat Gemma announced this evening that the Sequoia Union School District Board of Trustees has approved the appointments of two new principals, effective July 1, 2009.            

Bonnie Hansen, currently instructional vice principal at Sequoia High School, Redwood City, has been tapped to succeed Morgan Marchbanks, who is stepping down after nine years to focus full time on doctorate studies at the University of California, Berkeley.           

Raul Zamora, currently principal at Miramonte High School, Lafayette, and formerly administrative vice principal at Carlmont High School, Belmont, has been recruited to succeed Andrea Jenoff, who is retiring as principal of Carlmont after ten years at the helm.           

"We opened up recruitment nationally for both of these principalships, and the recruitment and hiring process was extensive and involved representation of all of the school's key constituencies" said Gemma.             

"Both of these schools have undergone significant positive change over the past decade and we want to see the continuation of the upward trajectory at Carlmont and Sequoia.  We are pleased that we were able to recruit two individuals with experience as part of the positive change that has occurred at the schools," Gemma continued.           

Gemma says that the recruitments drew interest from a pool of highly qualified candidates and that he is "pleased the two outstanding educational leaders who were selected accepted the posts.           

"Both Bonnie and Raul are strong student advocates and effective leaders who will retain and develop the outstanding programs and initiatives that have been put in place over the past 10 years, such as the biotechnology, medical magnet, and fine and performing arts programs at Carlmont, and the International Baccalaureate program and personalized learning communities at Sequoia.             

"We are confident the two new principals will capably build on the recent records of success at both schools," he added.  "Both Bonnie and Raul are also deeply committed to the Sequoia district's goals that focus on student achievement, a robust career-technical education program and other priority goals that will help to engage and prepare students to excel in a global, 21st century society."           

Hansen started in the Sequoia district as an English teacher at Menlo-Atherton High School, Atherton, in 1995, and she has been in her current role at Sequoia High School for five years.  She has a master's degree in education from UC-Berkeley and a teaching credential from UC-Davis.  She is nationally board certified in English.           

Zamora has served as principal at Miramonte in the Acalanes Union High School District in the East Bay since 2006, and, immediately prior, served as administrative vice principal at Carlmont for four years.  He started his educational career as a high school music teacher in Anderson, Calif.  Zamora has a masters in music education from the University of Illinois and will complete his doctorate in organizational leadership in July. Established in 1895, Sequoia Union High School District serves the diverse needs of students in the San Francisco Mid-Peninsula region through four award-winning, comprehensive public high schools as well as a model continuation high school, a middle college (in collaboration with Cañada College) and an adult school.  Through its robust portfolio of schools and specialized programs and services, state-of-the-art facilities and technology, and highly qualified teachers and staff, the District is committed to ensuring that all students are engaged and prepared to excel in a 21st century global society.  For more information, visit www.seq.org. ###

Text Messaging Alert System

The Belmont Safe Schools Text Messaging Alert System, allows students, parents, relatives & school staff to receive important messages from their school or from Belmont PD, over their mobile devices (cell phone, smart phone, PDA, etc...). The system can be used to advise of school closures, traffic issues, and incidents on or near campus, etc... Because it is a text message, which goes to a mobile device, subscribers can receive the message if they are in class, the library, their dorm/apt or off campus. Subscribers sign up at their school's website and are in the system until they remove themselves, so for example, an incoming student and their family only have to sign up once during their years as a student at that school. Subscribers can remove themselves at any time. This system received initial funding from the City of Belmont as part of its Disaster Preparedness efforts and is maintained through the Belmont Safe Schools Program.
