ALICE Drill Information
Providing a safe, secure learning environment for your child(ren) is one of our highest priorities.This is why the district has implemented the use of ALiCE (i.e. Alert, Lockdown, inform, Counter and Evacuate). Security experts across the country believe, as do we, that the use of these additional procedures will enhance student and staff safety.
All KUSD staff members took part in ALiCE training beginning in the spring of 2016. They have been taught how to initiate ALiCE procedures if there is a threat to student/staff safety, such as a violent intruder. In addition, each classroom is equipped with an ALiCE kit to assist in securing classroom doors and reducing the likelihood of an intruder entering rooms by force
Our staff has been trained to understand that ALiCE is not a step-by-step response, but rather a set of options to utilize in the event of an intruder. The following is a brief overview of what ALiCE is and what students and staff are taught:
-
If an intruder enters the building, students and staff should:
- Stop, look, listen and take appropriate action.
- Get to and/or remain in a secure area and barricade until it is safe to evacuate.
- Use sensory information to determine when and if it is safe to evacuate.
- Distract the intruder if it becomes necessary to do so.
- Do not be a stationary target.
NOTE: In NO WAY are students or staff being taught or asked to make any attempt to subdue an intruder
Next week we will hold a school safety drill. During this drill students and teachers will practice the ALICE procedures they have been learning over the past month. If you have any questions about the drill, please contact Mrs. Curley at 262-359-2110.
3K Run- Coming October 19th-- Volunteers Needed
Students have been working on building their running stamina through PE class and some special "training days". On the day of the 3K students will run/walk along a prescribed route over to Ingrim Park and back.
To help make this event successful we need volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please complete this online sign up by clicking here https://goo.gl/forms/LUqbkC3ZAQpUTmUh2 .
Just a reminder that all volunteers need a completed background check form. These can take up to five days to process. Please be sure to get yours in early.
