LOCKDOWN PLAN

Our school has fire drills six times a year. Our students and parents are familiar with fire drill routines in which we practice having all students and staff exit the building quickly.

We will now begin to have lockdown drills. Some emergency situations may prevent the safe evacuation of a school building and may require that steps be taken to isolate students and staff from danger by instituting a school lockdown. In this process, students remain in or proceed to designated areas within the school until it is safe to resume regular routines. We will be practicing, after explaining the routine to students beforehand, so there will be no surprises.
