Rally Point Drill-Wednesday, May 16th
Dear Parent or Guardian,
The Oconomowoc Area School District (OASD) has been implementing and practicing ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate), for the last few years. Recently, all students participated in a Lockdown Drill. The purpose of this drill was to provide students and staff the opportunity to plan ahead by making a well-informed decision if an unsafe and /or unexpected situation were to happen at school.
Our next step in ALICE training with staff and students is to practice evacuating to our rally points. A rally point is a designated area for staff and students to meet in the case of a school emergency. Each grade level will walk with students to school rally points. Staff will discuss with students the rally point routes, how to calmly get to that location, what materials they may need to take with them, and what the expectations are for remaining orderly during this exercise. This will be strictly for practice purposes only.
Our main goal and objective is to ensure the safety of our students and staff, while taking a proactive approach if we were ever to encounter an unsafe person entering any of our district buildings.
As always, please feel free to contact Mrs. McCaffery with any questions.
Thank you to all of the families that made Teacher Appreciation Week so special for the staff here at Greenland.
Thank You Volunteers!
