1. Make sure Colsen and Ronan are safe and accounted for. Determine whether they are at home, at school, on the green bus, at the Youth Center, or already with a trusted adult.

2. Contact Andrea Jones or Jordan Jones and coordinate who will take primary responsibility for the boys.

Call Andrea Call Jordan

3. Check today's medications. Determine what has already been given and what is due next before giving anything. Verify against the current labeled prescription container.

4. If the boys are still at school, call both schools as early as possible and arrange Car Rider Pro pickup. See School & Pickup below.

5. Review each child's section for medications, routines, school details, and important notes.
