We will be participating in our scheduled lockdown drill this Thursday morning at 10am.  Please talk with your students about why we practice this drill is to be safe and keep them safe if it were ever to happen. This will help with their anxiety during and preparing for the drill.  Also, please reassure them that this is a drill and drill only.  

Here is the note sent to the parents by administration:
We’ll have a lock down drill this Thursday morning. As a reminder, these drills are to help prepare students, staff, and administration if there were an intruder inside the school. During this drill, Dr. Dave will get on the intercom and state, “Locks, lights, out of sight.” Students are to quietly move to a corner of the room where they are out of sight and remain silent during the drill (teachers will discuss this process with students). The teachers ensure doors are locked, lights are turned off, and role is taken. They then wait for administration to open their door and announce that the drill is complete. Though Dr. Dave will explain this drill to students on Wednesday, please take some time to reassure students that this is only a drill.
