LOCKDOWN Drill Review
I noticed that everyone did a great job of checking for students in the hallway and pulling them in to the classroom for safety. The hallways/classrooms were quiet and secure. As instructed, you did not use red/green cards as that would have alerted any intruder about the location of people.
To remember:
- Be sure to REMOVE the magnet from the door jamb so that the door is secure.
- If you are designated to check a zone, during Lockdown drills, you must check your assigned zone. During an actual Lockdown you would NOT check, but would be in lockdown yourself. For lockdown drills, we will always announce that it is a drill.
