We will continue to drill our students in these procedures, along with our fire drills and earthquake drills to make sure your students know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency here at school. Our TOP priority is to get your student back to you unharmed and safe in an emergent situation.
If your student seems a little more drained or nervous today after school, it could be the effect of walking through our lockdown procedures today. This is not a pleasant situation to think about or practice for, but is absolutely necessary.
Some ways you can help support them in remembering procedures and feeling more comfortable with them are:
1. Talk about it at home, both the emergency situation and procedures to be followed.
2. Create your own plan for fire safety, earthquake/natural disaster, or home intrusion to be carried out at home.
3. Encourage your student that both the school administration as well as their teachers are fully capable of taking care of them and neutralizing the threat.
I welcome any questions about our procedures and drills. Please know we follow Alaska State and Federal standards for all emergency drills and active situations.
