Lockdown Drill March 6
With the assistance of local law enforcement agencies, Rox El will conduct an
ALICE drill, also known as a “lockdown drill,” in our building on Wednesday, March 6. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. These drills, which are required by law, allow the district to practice security plans, enhance safety, and offer increased options in the event of an emergency.
We encourage you to speak with your children about this drill and the importance of following the instructions during an actual emergency. Our staff will also be speaking to the students about the drill to prepare them. Students should understand that drills are conducted, with and without notice, so that they can simulate an actual event and allow students and staff to practice responding in different areas of the buildings at different times of the day. This drill will be a level 3 lockdown drill. Ms. Pulling will get on the PA and tell staff and students that we are having a level 3 lockdown drill. The students will then follow the drill instructions which are to move to a location in the room to keep them safe and away from the door. Staff will also help students understand that they will also "counter" in the event that it is needed and this is when they gather materials to throw.
In the event of an actual emergency, the district will communicate with families through text messages, email, and/or the robocall system. Because the first priority of the district is to ensure the safety of your child, these messages will be sent as quickly as possible and after it is determined that all students are out of harm’s way. Please do not attempt to call the building during an emergency. All staff members will be assisting our students during that time and will be communicating with emergency personnel.
We thank you for your ongoing support of our emergency planning. If you have questions, please feel free to contact our school and Ms. Pulling or another member of our staff will be glad to help you.
