Safety Drills
The health and safety of our students and staff are our top priority. Under the Illinois School Safety Drill Act, all public schools are required to conduct a variety of safety drills annually. Drills practiced include fire (3), evacuation (1), shelter-in-place (1), and law enforcement (lockdown/active shooter) (3). See below for our fall drill schedule:
Fire Drills
August 24
September 12
Lockdown Drill
August 26
Tornado Drill
September 16
Bus Evacuation Drill
September 23
Preparing for various scenarios in advance helps empower staff and students in the case of a real emergency. While the chance of an incident happening is unlikely, we care about the well-being of our students and staff and are required by law to educate our school community to ensure emergency preparedness for all.
As indicated above, our school will participate in a lockdown drill on August 26. We understand that some drills, particularly the law enforcement/lockdown drill, could cause anxiety for some students. Should you have questions about the drill or wish to opt your child out of the lockdown drill, please contact the main office at 815-788-5500 by Thursday, August 25. Under state law, schools must still provide alternative safety education related to an active threat to students who do not participate in the lockdown drill.
