Lock Down Drill
Our school has adopted The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). This month we would like to explain one of the 5 protocols we have in BISD.
A Lockdown protocol would be used when there is an intruder or an active shooter. In the event of a Lockdown the following protocol is in place on all campuses.
LOCKDOWN
“locks, lights, out of Sight”
Students are trained to:
- Move away from sight
- Maintain silence
- Do not open the door
Adults and staff are trained to:
- Recover students from hallway if possible
- Lock the classroom door
- Turn out the lights
- Move away from sight
- Maintain silence
- Do not open the door
- Prepare to evade or defend
Attendance Matters
Regular school attendance is very important for students to do well in school. Missing school, can lead to problems in academics, behavior, confidence and even later like dropping out. Families can help by making sure kids go to school every day, creating routines and keeping in touch with the school. You can find more information at http://r16.us/attendance.
Check out the infographic below to see how just a few days adds up to a lot of loss of learning.
