You can begin coursework immediately upon registering, or in the near future, and some started in August already...just take a look at the requirements of the varied courses. Contact me, or the instructor of a course, with any questions you may have. The options have not changed since it was completed and sent to all staff on June 7th, and other dates throughout the summer, but some courses may not be available anymore.
Registration ends Sept. 29, 2019, and all coursework is due May 25, 2020.
SECURITY REMINDERS
- leaving the door locked is a way to keep your room secure in the event of an unexpected internal threat.
When should the shade on my door be lowered?
- If there is a threat inside the building you should put the shade down on your so the intruder cannot see into the room.
The "Hold" command is used to restrict staff and student movement throughout the building. Staff should gather students into their room, shut the door, continue instruction, and ignore all bells. This is typically used when a non-threatening situation is taking place inside the building (i.e. ill student or staff).
