September’s Monthly Drill: Lock Down: We will follow the Standard Response Protocol from the I Luv U Guys Foundation. Home ♥ The "I Love U Guys" Foundation
This month students will participate in a Lock Down Drill. A lock-down means students and teachers clear the hallways, lock down their rooms, turn out the lights, move out of sight and maintain silence. They remain silent until first responders clear hallways and unlock each door. Parents and visitors inside the building follow these lockdown procedures as well.
A lockdown is called when there is a threat or hazard inside the school building. In an actual lockdown, the school will contact 911. Local police and other emergency agencies will gather at the school to coordinate the response. The situation is then under the command of the lead police agency.
During a real lockdown, parents will be informed and instructed by the Davis School District. Initial information is distributed through a call-out. Please take a few minutes to update your phone numbers and emergency contacts.
We appreciate your cooperation as we practice lockdown procedures with your child. We value your child and their safety and want to be prepared in the event of an actual threat.
Breakfast/Lunch Balances:
