Safety Training
Paonia K-8 will continue to utilize A.L.I.C.E. training for our school safety training.
During this school year, we will be completing 4 separate A.L.I.C.E. trainings. These trainings are informational sessions focused on educating students of the different processes of Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. The teachers will be educating students of each of the elements of A.L.I.C.E. During second semester, we will be completing one full A.L.I.C.E. drill. More details and explanations will be provided in at that time.
September 29: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on Alert and Inform. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to alert and inform when danger may exist.
November 11: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on Lockdown/Counter. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to counter when danger exists.
January 5: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on Evacuate. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to evacuate when danger exists. We will then practice evacuating the building in a similar manner to our fire drills. For a full evacuation, our designated meeting location is the Nature Trail. We will fully evacuate to this location during this training.
March 30: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on a full drill. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to proceed with Lockdown or Evacuate when danger exists. During this practice, students will practice barricading the classroom door in order to prevent classroom entrance or evacuate the building to the Nature Trail. Classroom doors will then only be opened with a key from a school administrator.
