PKL School Safety Week: September 9th-13th
The OASD and Park Lawn believe that school safety is paramount to all we do. As a result we will dedicate the week of September 9th-13th to ensuring that our learning community is confident in our safety procedures. Below is a schedule of each day of the week and the drills that will occur. In addition we have included a brief outline of what Principal Jones will review with students during morning announcements and lunch, and what classroom teachers will review.
Please note that all of our staff are annually trained in ALICE; we have included detailed information and a link if your family would like to learn more about ALICE. We make every effort to support students in understanding the need to practice intruder drills in age appropriate ways that do not evoke a sense of fear but rather a sense of importance. We want the children to know that while a dangerous situation may feel like they do not have any control, there are strategies such as barricading and locking down and evacuating that can save their lives. Part of this training includes having a safe site within walking distance for us to evacuate to. During the Friday drill we will be escorting ALL students off-site to our evacuation site, The Oconomowoc Public Library. Rest assured that our staff will take measures to ensure the safety of all students during this drill as we will practice this evacuation during staff training on 8/28 and meet with public library staff as well. Again, to learn more about ALICE please refer to the link below.

Tuesday: Principal Jones and classroom review of the above and what it means if we have a medical alert
Wednesday: Continued review and a Tornado drill
Thursday: Continued review and a fire drill
Friday: Continued review and an ALICE drill with evacuation rally points and the public library.
**During PKL 94 Principal Jones will remind everyone of our school-wide expectations during a drill:
- Silence so that we can hear directions
- Walking for additional safety of all
- Tornado safe position
- Expectations for the public library and the walk to and from
***Classroom teacher responsibilities during this week:
- Specialist teachers will review with all classes where to go for all drills and the tornado safe position
- Classroom teachers will review drill locations along with expectations and the tornado safe position. Video link to a reading of I'm Not Scared I'm Prepared book https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdNAl0ADUuk
- Expectations for the public library and the walk to and from and how we conduct ourselves once we are there.
We will conduct an additional Safety Week again the week of March 9th. Goals for this week of review will include but are not limited to:
- Mock simulation of an unsafe person in the building and the need to make split second decisions of whether to evacuation or lock-down and barricade.
- Understanding reunification at our evacuation site if we are forced to evacuate and not able to return to Park Lawn.
