School Safety Training Reminder:

Paonia K-8 and all Delta County School District schools utilize A.L.I.C.E. training for our school safety training. During this school year, we will be completing four separate A.L.I.C.E. trainings. These trainings are informational sessions focused on educating students of the different processes of Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. The teachers will be educating students of each of the elements of A.L.I.C.E. During second semester, we will be completing one full A.L.I.C.E. drill.

October 3: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on Alert and Inform. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to alert and inform when danger may exist.

November 21: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on Lockdown/Counter. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to counter when danger exists.

January 11: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on Evacuate. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to evacuate when danger exists. We will then practice evacuating the building in a similar manner to our fire drills. We will fully evacuate to this location during this training.

March 20: A.L.I.C.E. overview with a focus on a full drill. Teachers will be providing age-appropriate instruction on an overview of A.L.I.C.E. along with an explanation of how to proceed with Lockdown or Evacuate when danger exists. During this practice, students will practice barricading the classroom door in order to prevent classroom entrance or evacuate the building. Classroom doors will then only be opened with a key from a school administrator or law enforcement.

This is a great time to also visit the Scholastic Book Fair!

It takes a team to run our middle school sports programs. Mrs. Savory, our Athletic Director, needs people to help run our home games for volleyball, football, and basketball. We are looking for referees, clock workers, line judges, and sports book keepers. Some of these opportunities are paid! Please call the school and speak with Mrs. Savory if you, or someone you know, is available to help keep our sports programs running smoothly.

Next PPO Meeting: Monday, September 16th at 3:45 in the school library - see you there!
