Prior to the drill, our teachers will be going over the procedures with the students so they will know what is expected of them during the drill.
During a “lockdown” all exterior doors are locked and outdoor activities are cancelled. Signs will be posted to all exterior doors indicating that the school is having a “Lockdown Drill”. During the drill, you will not be permitted to enter the school.
During the drill, students move quickly to the nearest classroom, where they are supervised by a teacher. They stay seated and out of sight from doors and windows, drapes are drawn and doors are locked.
Should your child come home and want to talk about the drill, please reinforce with your child that this is a practice just like a fire drill to help us be as prepared as possible in the event of an emergency. We certainly hope that we are never faced with a real emergency, but we can be better prepared as a result of going through a practice drill.
Thank you for your support.
