WYWLA WEEKLY UPDATE

Lockdown DRILL Today
We conducted our annual lockdown drill today. Thank you to WCPSS Security, Raleigh Police, Capitol Police, and GMS Security for collaborating with our staff to prepare for any potential threat to our school.
If there is a potential threat or unsafe situation to our school, we may "go on lockdown" to protect students, staff and visitors.
- If there is an immediate threat to our school, a "code red" lockdown will be issued. Students will be moved into safe areas, and all interior doors will be locked.
- If there is something in the community that may pose a threat to our school, such as a bank robbery or police chase in the neighborhood, a "code yellow" community lockdown will be issued. All outdoor activities will stop and students will move into the building. We will lock outer doors and prohibit movement between buildings, but all other activities will continue as normal.
- When the incident passes, a "code green" will be declared ending the lockdown.
Our goal is to conduct at least two drills per year. The officers from the law enforcement agencies mentioned above assist with drills by checking buildings, classrooms, and grounds while students and staff are locked down. They become familiar with our campus while providing feedback from drills to help us maintain a safe school.
THANKSGIVING BREAK
WYWLA will be closed for staff and students Wednesday, November 27 through Friday, November 29th.
There will be no club meetings on Tuesday, November 26th due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
