Lock Down Drill
LOCK DOWN
- In the event we need to “lockdown” the building(s), the principal, or administrative assistant in his/her absence, will announce “Code Red” for a full lockdown or “Code Yellow” for a modified lockdown.
At that point, teachers are expected to:
- Shut and lock their classroom doors, close their windows and shut their blinds. For a Code Red, students are to huddle together in an area away from windows and the door. For a Code Yellow, teachers may continue teaching, but students should remain in the classroom with shades drawn and doors locked.
- If student(s) are on the playground when a lockdown is called, the playground supervisor will be notified. This will signal the need for them to blow their whistle, bring the students back inside and take them to their classrooms, unless directed otherwise by the principal, or administrative assistant is his/her absence.
- Students should not use the bathrooms or leave their classroom during a lock down.
- The “lockdown” will continue in place until the principal, or administrative assistant in his/her absence, announces otherwise.
- If the school is still in lockdown mode during carpool, parents will be directed to park their cars and enter the building to pick up their children. If an adult other than the child’s parent comes to pick up the child and you have not received notice from the office, please send the adult to the office where verification can be made. Once verification has been made, the adult will be sent back to the classroom.
- A Code Red signifies an immediate threat on site. A Code Yellow signifies a threat in the surrounding area.
