The safety and security of your children is our highest priority. As a district we are constantly updating and improving our safety and security procedures.
All staff members at each building were trained during the Fall of 2017 to provide a safer and more secure environment using a new security procedure, called ALICE. Security experts across the country, believe, as do we, that these practices will enhance student and staff safety. Staff and students will receive continuous training during the fall of each school year.
ALICE
Alert
Get the word out! Use your classroom phone to call an Intruder Alert Lockdown. Use PLAIN language to convey the type and exact location of the situation.
Lockdown
Good starting point. We will make lockdown more secure by learning how to barricade/tie down classroom doors whether they open inward into the room or outward into the hall.
Inform
Continue to communicate. It can keep an intruder off balance and allows for good decision making by other staff members.
Counter
Apply skills the staff has learned to distract, confuse and gain control.
Evacuate
Reduce the number of potential targets by evacuating students in a controlled manner to pre-established rally points. Rally point practice drills will be held.
