General Response Protocol Drills

  • We are still mandated to complete all evacuation and lockdown drills. 
  • For this school year,  there will be modifications made to drills related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 
  • In an actual emergency, it is understood that physical distancing may not be possible and that the safety of all students and staff takes priority. 

Evacuations

  • All staff and students must participate in drills. 
  • All physical distancing guidelines will  be followed as students and staff exit and re-enter the building after any evacuation drill or emergency. 
  • This year, drills will  be conducted in stages rather than all at once. 
  • We will conduct drills by grade(s) during a given day.  All students will participate in a staged drill before the completion of the school day. 
  • School drills will be scheduled to ensure that each group of the school’s blended learning schedule has an opportunity to participate in a drill. 
  • Students will be instructed to maintain a distance of six feet to comply with physical distancing guidelines and to wear a face covering. While younger students may be accustomed to exiting the building holding hands, for now this must be discouraged.

​Lockdowns

  • When scheduling a lockdown drill, we will ensure that each cohort of the blended learning model has an opportunity to participate in a lockdown drill. 
  • During a lockdown drill, students will  remain in their seats and remain silent instead of moving to the safe corner. THIS IS ONLY UNDER COVID-19. 
  • All instruction and movement within the classroom must cease until the lockdown drill has been lifted. 
  • All classrooms and offices will cover the glass door panel during a lockdown drill.
