Safety Drill Reminders

Throughout the school year, students and staff will take part in drills to practice the five actions in the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) which was implemented last year. The SRP uses clear, common language to explain five specific actions that can be taken during an emergency. By standardizing the vocabulary, school district officials, staff, students and emergency responders can understand the actions being taken and status of the event.

Drills are an essential part of keeping our school community ready for any situation. By taking part in drills, we:

Build familiarity and “muscle memory” through regular practice to help students and staff respond calmly and efficiently
Test current procedures and systems and allow us to evaluate and improve our emergency procedures
Meet required state safety requirements
Create confidence through practice. When everyone knows what to do, anxiety decreases and safety increases
