Evacuation/Lockdown Drills Notification for week of 9/9

Over the course of the next week we will be completing one or more of our required emergency drills. These drills are either evacuation/fire drill or lockdown drills... please see below for a more detailed description. It is strongly encouraged that you talk with your child in preparation so that they have a better understanding of what to expect and why these drills are so important. Thank you.

• Evacuate and evacuation mean to move students for their protection from a school building to a predetermined location in response to an emergency (ie. fire drill)
  
  

• Lockdown means to immediately clear the hallways, lock and/or barricade doors, hide from view, and remain silent while readying a plan of evacuation as a last resort. Lockdown will only end upon physical release from the room or secured area by law enforcement. Lockdown is initiated during incidents that pose an immediate threat of violence in or around the school.
