Drill plan
Length of drill
Areas for improvement:
More communication on the subject of school safety procedures
Keep practicing, add realism
Recommendations:
Add “all call numbers” to the phones, perhaps on a sticker
Have staff training in August regarding school safety to review Standard Operating Procedures on Active Shooter/Lockdown
Summary
The Armed Intruder/Lockdown drill provided an opportunity for staff to review and discuss the Standard Operating Procedures for Armed Intruder and Lockdowns. Because this was a tabletop format to maintain COVID19 safety protocols, the drill included between one and three additional scenarios with other variables that were age appropriate. Students and staff were able to consider more “what if” scenarios using this plan. All students completed a classroom debrief and staff completed a survey to provide administrators with suggestions for improvement. Key suggestions are listed above. The Park Falls Police Department observed the drill at the South Campus.

First graders in Mrs. Wolfe's class Mrs. Wolfe was following the decodable routine in the EL flex curriculum so kids can work on their targeted learning level. The progress monitoring tools helped with identifying each students level and with grouping the students for this work. This student was working on plural nouns ending in y/ies. | First graders in Mrs. Brad's class Using the same system, these students were working on multiple syllable words, long and short vowels, and sound consonant blends. The other students were working on their Ipads for additional practice. | First graders in Mrs. Minemma's class The first grade teachers work together to plan these lessons so all students are getting "on level" instruction.
