  1. Active Shooter Defense Training

  2. Imagine having to take a test on a subject that you have never studied. It would be difficult. That is why we do lockdown drills.

  3. While we hope the test or actual emergency never comes, we want you to be ready. Be Ready, Be AlerT

  4. The system we use to help us be ready is called AlerT. AlerTstands for Assess, lockdown, evade, resist and Tell. Our lockdown drills help us practice the AlerTsystem.

  5. Lockdown drills typically take place while you are in classrooms. During the drill, follow the teacher’s instructions.

  6. In an actual emergency, your teacher is trained to assess the situation and determine the safest course of action.

  7. During the drill the teacher may discuss or practice ways to lockdown the classroom to prevent entry. This can include locking the door and possibly using desks to form a barricade or even tying off the door handle to make it harder to open the door.

  8. Another important step in the lockdown is moving to areas inside the locked classroom where you cannot be seen from the hallway. The teacher may cover the vision panel to help prevent someone from seeing in, This is good, but you should still move away from the door and windows.

  9. While the drill may take place in the classroom, sometimes the safest course of action in an emergency is to leave the building. While this is obvious is a situation like a fire, it can also be true if there is a dangerous person inside the school.

  10. A teacher may direct you to run or exit the building, but if you are alone, you do not need permission to evade and resist someone that you believe is dangerous.

  11. If you do need to evacuate from the school and are not with a teacher, we do ask that you tell what happened, where you are and that you are safe. This can include calling 9-1-1 or going to a nearby safe place.

  12. The reason we have to do these drills is obviously very concerning, but the drill itself should not be. If a lockdown drill causes you any concern or anxiety, please let a teacher, counselor or school administrator know.

  13. Drills are practice that help us be better respond to an emergency we hope never happens. You can help us keep that emergency from happening If you ever see or hear something that causes you a concern for your safety, or the safety of others, please say something. Your concerns will be taken seriously.
