SAFETY DRILLS
Letter that was emailed out to all families today:
Dear Parents and Guardians of Lake Country School,
The safety of all children and staff in our school is very important to me. In order to maintain a safe environment for children to study and learn, it is necessary that we practice our emergency and crisis response plans by having drills designed to exercise and check our procedures.
We will be conducting various drills throughout the remainder of the school year, and each subsequent school year. This letter is to help you understand the importance of this as well as to understand each type of drill.
The students and staff of Lake Country School will be practicing 4 types of emergency drills each year. They are “FIRE DRILLS”, “TORNADO DRILLS”, “EVACUATION DRILLS”, and “EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN”. Each type of drill is explained below.
FIRE DRILLS
The school will conduct a “fire drill” each month that school is in session. This is a requirement for all Wisconsin public schools. We want each student to understand and be aware of the importance of this drill and not be afraid when the fire alarm is sounded. By practicing they will know what to do and how to do it.
On September 16, our students and staff participated in our first fire drill of the year. I was impressed by the organized manner and cooperation of our students and staff members during the drill. Fire Prevention Day at Lake Country School is October 17, 2022. The Lake Country Fire and Rescue Department will meet with 5K-5th grade classes to review fire prevention education.
TORNADO DRILLS
The school will conduct a “tornado drill” two times this school year. This is a requirement for all Wisconsin public schools. The purpose of this drill is to be prepared to move to a safe location within the building in case of severe weather or tornados.
EVACUATION DRILLS IN CASE OF SCHOOL SAFETY INCIDENT
The school will conduct an “Evacuation Drill'' this school year. Students will be safely escorted along a designated evacuation route to one of our predetermined evacuation locations or sites. This is a requirement for all Wisconsin public schools. At the conclusion of the drill, all students will be escorted back into the school.
EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN IN CASE OF SCHOOL SAFETY INCIDENT
The school will conduct a “Emergency Lockdown” this school year. This type of drill will secure the school building and safely shelter all students, staff and visitors inside the building. The purpose of this drill is to keep the students safe from any danger outside or inside the building. To enable everyone to remain safe, no one will be allowed to enter the building or leave the building until the drill is completed.
Over the course of the year we will be collaborating with first responders and law enforcement to ensure that Lake Country School is a safe place to learn and work.
For the safety of everyone involved and to maintain order, we respectfully ask that you would abide by the following:
- Do not come to the school during a drill unless otherwise notified
- Do not call the school offices (as they will be busy with the drill or actual emergency)
- Do not contact students or staff members via cell phone or social media (as they will be busy with the drill or actual emergency)
- Avoid social media posts. Correct information will be disseminated through our automated system as soon as possible.
- Please make sure that your contact information is current at all times so that you can be reached without delay in the event of an emergency.
- In the event of an actual emergency evacuation, you will receive notification where to pick up your child as soon as practicable.
Please remember that these safety practice drills are done to help maintain our schools as a safe place to learn and work. If you have any questions regarding any of these Safety Drills or other safety concerns, please contact your school office, or the office of the superintendent.
Sincerely,
Chad Schraufnagel
District Administrator
