Emergency Drills: There are six standard emergency responses that we practice with students throughout the school year:
-
Hold! Students stay inside their classrooms and school continues as usual (used to keep hallways clear).
-
Secure! Used for threats outside the building. All exterior and interior doors are locked, and limited activities continue inside.
-
Lockdown! Used for active threats inside the building. All classrooms are immediately closed and locked.
-
Evacuate! Used for threats inside the building (like a fire). Teachers lead students to a designated outdoor meeting area. (Note: If a full release is required, only individuals listed on the school emergency card will be allowed to pick up students).
-
Shelter in Place! Used for natural hazards (like a flood or earthquake). Students and staff shelter safely inside until emergency services give the all-clear.
-
Reunification: If circumstances require a formalized, controlled release, parents/guardians will be notified to pick up their students. Valid identification is required for student pickup.
