Dear Parents and Guardians:
If there is a crisis, but our school is not directly involved, we will monitor the
situation closely and continue with the normal school day. If there is a crisis that could affect our school, we will work closely with local
officials and the Office of Emergency Management to determine the most appropriate response.
Students will remain in the building if this is the safest course of action or we will
evacuate the building if necessary. In the event of an emergency situation requiring
students to be removed from our building area, it is planned the post secondary pupils will
be released to their cars and high school students will be picked up by home school
transportation and returned to their high school.
We have been working with the students to update your home or work phone numbers.
Please check the following sources for current information.
We are working diligently to provide open lines of communication with
parent/guardians and to insure the safety of our students. If you need to contact us,
our phone number continues to be 732-473-3100.
Sincerely,
Craig R. Coleman
In these uncertain times, America finds itself at various stages of alert. Governor McGreevy
has suggested that New Jersey public schools review their emergency procedures. The safety
of our students is our top priority. At Ocean County Vocational-Technical Schools Toms River
Center we have been reviewing our responses to any situations that might put students and
staff at risk.
