To keep students safe, students will participate in monthly emergency drills throughout the school year. The purpose of drills is to prepare students and staff for any emergency that may ensue, requiring the building to be evacuated. Further information about our emergency procedures can be found on the Vida website in the Lockdown and Shelter-in-Place policy.
These include:
| Lock Down |
- A signal notifying staff of a "Lock Down" will be given.
- The students will be held in their classroom, or other place and secured doors and windows.
- An all-clear signal will be given when the building has been cleared.
|
| Shelter-in-place |
- A signal notifying staff of a "Shelter-In-Place" will be given.
- All students and staff will be brough indoors and will remain indoors.
- An "all clear signal" will be given when the outdoor area is secured.
|
| Evacuation and Fire Drill |
- A signal notifying all staff and students will be given to evacuate the building.
- The staff and students will exit the building and go to designated areas.
- If necessary: Parent/Guardian will be notified via our telephone emergency alert system regarding pick-up location.
