Saint Philip the Apostle School each year implements a fire, earthquake, and lock-down safety awareness and evacuation program that is designed to insure the safety of each child and adult upon the school premises. Our students are drilled in a well-established program of fire, earthquake and lockdown safety. Please review with your child occasionally the procedures of these drills.

Saint Philip has on hand emergency food and water plus a solar blanket for each child. The parents have purchased these supplies. Supplies have a four-year shelf life. New families to Saint Philip School and those who have students entering the fourth grade are charged with an earthquake/emergency fee. This fee goes toward the purchase of supplies.

Should a serious earthquake or emergency occur, all students will be retained at school until dismissed to the care of an adult who has been designated by the parent/guardian to pick up the child(ren).
In case of an emergency, adults will be allowed to enter only from Holliston at the gate near Holy Angel Hall. Identify yourself to the adult in charge at the entrance, who will direct you to your child(ren). No vehicles will be allowed on the school grounds.

Only those names that are listed on the Emergency Card may sign out a child. Parents may add as many names to their card as they wish. Neighbors or other school parents who live near school are good choices.

In an emergency that necessitates the full removal of students from the school facility (or students remain on grounds for a longer period in a less severe disaster), then EVACUATION TO ANOTHER SITE AWAY FROM SCHOOL GROUNDS MAY BE NECESSARY. Please be assured that we would attempt to take every precaution to insure the wellbeing of your child(ren) in this event. Our staff would attempt, in such an emergency, to take all students to the nearest officially designated shelter area. Tune to your local radio station to learn of the closest shelter area provided.

The First Annual St. Philip Parish Chili Cook-Off is open to parishioners and community members. Have fun with parishioners as you taste complimentary samples of homemade chili, beer, wine and nachos. This is a terrific opportunity to mingle or to invite a friend who is interested in learning more about the parish. Kids are invited to watch a movie in Holy Angel Hall during the event. There will be four teenagers to help with the kids!
