LOCKDOWN DRILL
We have a lockdown drill coming up on Thursday, March 14th. The purpose of this lockdown drill is to prepare our students, staff, and school community for an emergency situation involving an intruder or the report of a weapon at the school. It is crucial that our students understand the procedures and know how to respond appropriately in such a scenario. Please note that teachers will take time to explain these procedures prior to the drill. During the drill, Dr. Dave will make the following announcement twice: “Lockdown drill! Locks, lights, out of sight.” Teachers will ensure doors are closed and locked, that the lights are off, and that students are secure within the classroom.
We are fortunate to have the assistance of our local police department during this drill. Their expertise will ensure that the drill is conducted safely and effectively, providing our students with the most realistic and beneficial preparation possible.
We kindly ask that you discuss this upcoming drill with your children beforehand. It is important for them to understand the purpose of the drill and what they can expect. This will help to alleviate any fears or anxieties they may have and ensure they feel prepared and confident.
We understand that the subject of lockdown drills can be sensitive, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Your support in helping keep our students safe is invaluable.
