Guardians/Parents: ACPSD SHINE Awards
Parents/Guardians--if you have a specific NEMS or ACPSD adult that you would like to recognize, please go to the district's SHINE page located here: https://www.acpsd.net/o/dhr/page/shine-staff-shout-outs This is a great way to acknowledge people who go above and beyond, no matter what role that person plays in our district. This was created by ACPSD in 2024 in hopes of putting positivity into our profession by using this district-wide platform, which easily allows everyone to recognize one another!
Standard Response Protocol
Aiken County Public Schools utilizes the "I Love U Guys" Standard Response Protocol (SRP). This response was used on Friday after hearing gunfire in the distance behind the school. Our Administrators, SRO, and faculty and staff knew to quickly get students inside and NEMS went on "Secure" status. At NEMS, that means we bring our students from the mobile classrooms indoors and no students use the breezeway to transition classes. Learning continues as normal, but within the safety of the school walls. We work to get messages to families as quickly as possible about the incident and to update everyone on the status of the school.
The terms (Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter) and procedures to follow are simply defined. These terms are communicated and posted as visual reminders on school campuses. Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter will be used internally in our response, and externally to update parents/guardians, as well as the larger school community.
