lockdown

We will be conducting a Lockdown Drill next Tuesday January 22nd 2013, at approximately 1:30 PM. We conduct fire drills monthly and lockdown drills every quarter.  We do not give notice to our students. However, in view of recent... current events, we believe it would be of benefit to our entire community to conduct this next drill “in the open” giving our teachers, students, and parents a chance to discuss the importance of such practice exercises as well as the proper protocols. Here is what occurs in a lockdown drill. If you feel you should discuss this procedure with your child(ren)please do so. We do not want to cause undue anxiety.

· A member of the office staff will say “This is a lockdown” over the intercom. It does not matter if the announcement is a drill or not. You must treat every lockdown announcement with the same level of seriousness.
· Your teacher will lock and close your classroom door and turn out the light. He/She may also choose to move you to a corner of the classroom, away from the windows, to sit on the floor.
· If you are not in a classroom when the announcement is made, you should go to the nearest classroom immediately or seek out an adult in the hall who will escort you to the nearest safe location.

· When the lockdown is over you will hear an announcement saying “The lockdown is over,” or a member of the office staff or a police officer will open your classroom door and give your further instructions. You must listen to these directions carefully and do exactly as you are told.

Thank you.
