Hi Everyone,

Please remember to use student initials in emails. If you believe the person reading your email is unsure who you are writing about, it's OK to use the first two letters of their first and last name or grade level.

The term LOCKDOWN means “LOCKS, LIGHTS, OUT OF SIGHT.”

During a lockdown:

• Move out of the line of sight of the doorway and windows
• Maintain silence
• Turn off cell phones
• Lock classroom door(s)
• Turn lights off
• Do not open the door (even if someone knocks and says PD or Fire) An officer or firefighter will have a key to open doors.
• Take roll, account for students (if safe to do so)

Suggested Classroom Activity:

Start with a classroom discussion or question and answer session in which the teacher explains what a Lockdown Drill is and under what circumstances a Lockdown might be used.

Discussion points could include:

• Lockdown means locking classroom doors and other access points to keep students safe
• Moving everyone to a location in the classroom that is out of the line of sight of windows and doorways.
• Having everyone remain silent.

Fire Prevention Week is October 9th through October 15th, 2022.

If other grades want to make a photo, I'll create calendars for our families with photos.
