ALICE Drills
In case your child/student mentions something…
The state requires us to hold Emergency Drills in addition to Fire Drills throughout the year. ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) Drills are the district’s required Armed Intruder drills for staff and students. These drills are held approx. every few months. We use a children’s book, I’m Not Scared, I’m Prepared by Julia Cook to talk about these drills, prepare our students and practice.
