Emergency Preparedness

Initiated when the hallways need to be kept clear due to a situation.  Students and staff are instructed to clear the halls and remain securely in a classroom or area until the situation is resolved. 

Example:
A medical emergency in the hallway allowing emergency responders with clear access to support the situation

Building locked, and students and activities brought inside as a precaution due to activity in the area, not in the school or on school grounds. Learning continues inside the building with minimal interruption or distractions.

Example(s)

• Law enforcement activity nearby
• Report of dangerous wildlife in the area

Perceived danger inside or very near the building. All students and staff are trained to get behind a locked door - Locks, Lights, Out of Sight. In the rare event that a student cannot get behind a locked door, they are trained in self-evacuation protocols.

Example(s)

• Threat inside the school
• Emergency or dangerous situation very near the building
