Families are urged not to go to Indian Hills; rather, parents and guardians should go directly to the reunification site to pick up their children.
Students will be released by their classroom teachers, and a photo ID is required for checkout.
Officials ask families to follow all directions from school staff and first responders to ensure an orderly process. They also request that families refrain from calling the reunification site so emergency teams can keep phone lines clear.
Anyone with questions is asked to contact the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District office at (208) 232-3563.
