Safety Week at the Elementary May 9-13
La Crescent-Hokah Elementary will focus on safety May 9-13. Students will participate in a number of safety lessons and activities throughout the week. Students will learn about ways to be safe in water, in vehicles, while walking and biking. Additional information will be shared about how to be safe in severe weather, in case of fire and other emergency situations. The goal of the week is to equip students with practical skills that can be used in a variety of situations as needed.
During Safety Week, students will also be introduced to the ALICE emergency protocol. ALICE is a safety protocol that many schools across the nation are implementing to maximize student safety in a variety of emergency situations. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate.
Schools in Minnesota are required to perform several fire, severe weather and lockdown-emergency drills each year. This spring, we will introduce several lessons to better prepare our students for lockdown-emergency drills. We will focus on the Alert, Lockdown, Inform and Evacuate protocol of the ALICE program during Safety Week.
Briefly, Alert: highlights the importance of alarms or signals. Alarms give us information about situations and help us respond in safe ways. Lockdown: is a situation when we lock our doors and remain safe in our classrooms. Inform: Information is important when making decisions about safety. It is important to listen to teachers, announcements and updates so that everyone receives valuable safety information. Evacuate: there may be times when the safest choice is to leave the building. Similar to a fire drill, we'll discuss safe ways for students to exit the building in case of emergency. We'll also teach students about a safe place to reunite should we ever need to evacuate quickly.
We plan to use a number of student friendly ALICE resources and snippets from the book, I'm Not Scared... I'm Prepared, to teach safety techniques in emergency situations. We understand that student safety is a topic that is very relevant for our students. We hope that Safety Week will give everyone additional tips and tricks for staying safe this spring and summer.
