Upcoming Drills for students
Intruder safety drill
We encourage our teachers to make smart/ quick decisions for our students, with options including evacuation of the building, lock and barricade within the classroom, or finding the safest area of the building when you are in a transition from one area to another.
Friday, our teachers will practice with the students locking their doors, turning the lights off, moving away from sight lines, and remaining quiet in the room. Teachers will discuss with students how to push furniture up against a doorway to create a barricade for an unknown person that has entered our learning environment. They will then have a general debrief when finished to answer any questions that our kids have.
For the year, we will practice the following:
9 neighborhood lockdown/intruder drills
4 fire drills
3 tornado drills
I encourage you to speak with the teacher, or Mr. Weishaar, should you have questions regarding any drills that your child will practice for the school year.
