Introduction

PHILOSOPHY:

The school community has a responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment where students can experience physical, emotional, and academic growth. Realizing each situation will be unique; our intention is that these procedures suggest supportive communication, steps, and guidance for school staff and families in response to crisis situations. Good planning and training will facilitate a rapid, coordinated, effective response when a crisis occurs.

DEFINITION OF A CRISIS:

A crisis is an event that has an unpredictable and extraordinary impact. Examples include fire, bomb threat, a medical emergency in or outside the building, serious traffic accident, intruder, the sudden death of a student or school staff, bioterrorism, threat or act of violence, natural disaster, bus accident, or any unforeseen emergency.

GOALS OF THE CRISIS TEAM:

Keywords: mitigation, prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.

  1. To ensure the safety and security of the student body and staff.

  2. To avert further trauma.

  3. To assess the level of crisis and the appropriate response to the event.

  4. To collect and communicate pertinent and accurate information to staff, students, parents and the media. (The superintendent in conjunction with the principal is the only spokesperson.)

  5. To guard confidentiality as it relates to privacy issues.

  6. To provide normalcy and structure to help maintain the integrity of the school.

  7. To dispel rumors.

  8. To communicate ongoing information as needed.

  9. To provide needed support and resources for students and staff.

  10. To review and revise the crisis response manual with respect to its effectiveness.


CONVENING THE CRISIS TEAM:

The principal of the building will convene and chair all meetings of the crisis team.

In his/her absence, a designee will preside. The designee will be the school assistant principal or school team chair.

CRISIS RESPONSE CODES A.L.I.C.E.

ALICE Acronym

To make it easy to remember in a stressful situation, ALICE is broken up into five strategies: Alert; Lockdown; Inform; Counter and Evacuate.


A· The purpose of ALERT is to notify as many people as possible within the danger zone that a potentially life-threatening risk exists.

L· The purpose of LOCKDOWN is to secure in place and prepare to EVACUATE or COUNTER if needed.

I· The purpose of INFORM is to continue to communicate the intruder’s location or other important information in real-time.

C· The purpose of COUNTER is to interrupt the intruder and make it difficult or impossible to harm individuals. This is a strategy of last resort.

E· The purpose of EVACUATE is to remove yourself from the danger zone when it is safe to do so.

LOCKDOWN – to secure facility from intruders

Completing release logs and assigning the correct emergency contact on your SNAP form is essential. If the emergency contact is not listed we will not be able to release your student. Remember calling to change a contact on the day of an emergency will most likely not be an option.


Students not picked up by an approved adult will be supervised by the CIT team.


PROCEDURES FOR THE DEATH OF A PARENT

While consideration of the circumstances of each case should be paramount in the way a building responds to the death of a parent, some general procedures usually Apply:


1. Principals should be sure they have the correct information about the death and understand whether this is public or private information at the time it is received. For example, if it is announced on the news, it is public. In contrast,if the police are involved and/or circumstances are not clear, be sure to wait not only for a valid source of information but to consider whether or not the family should be contacted about how the school might deliver information to staff and students (example: possible suicide, drug overdose, etc.)


2. Contact the Superintendent and the Behavioral Health Coordinator. The Behavioral Health Coordinator should act as a resource to the principals and coordinate responses when students in more than one building are affected.


3. Contact the student’s teacher/s (cluster teachers in Middle School, High School schedule of teachers - do not forget Specials teachers, e.g., music, art, etc.) and Guidance Counselors with general information and let them know further details will follow about re-entry plans. Also, gather information from them about the family, siblings, etc. that may inform planning for re-entry.


4. The Principal or his/her representative should call the family and express condolences and offer support and help for the student. If possible, inquire as to when the student may return to school.


5. The Principal should send an email to all staff in the building with information about the death. This should be brief and, if possible, contain a link to information about wake/funeral or other religious rites. Again, consider whether the family would prefer to be left alone or would welcome school personnel at such rites.


6. Confer with Guidance Counselors and teachers around planning for


a. A brief, simple statement to be read or paraphrased by grade level or cluster teachers to students in the student’s grade on the first school morning after the event (if possible/appropriate). This statement should be reviewed by the Behavioral Health Coordinator before being used. Further, this statement should contain brief, simple information about the loss and also indicate that students who wish to talk more about this or are experiencing stress or strong feelings, should go to Guidance for further support. These students may be seen by Guidance or triaged to other Behavioral Health staff in

building (Psychologists, Adjustment Counselors, Social Workers, etc.).


b. The making of a list of students who may be vulnerable to upset by this event. For example, this list may include children who have experienced similar losses or children who are friends with members of the family. This list should be shared with teachers so that they may be alert to signs of distress in these students.


c. A re-entry plan for the student. In particular, the staff member with the best relationship with the family may be asked to be the liaison between the school and the family. There should be a plan for further counseling support in school and respite during the day, if necessary. Further, in Elementary and Middle School, it may be important to convey to students how the student wishes to be asked (or not asked) about this loss.


7. Depending on the circumstances (public vs. private, etc.), the Principal or designee should compose a brief letter home to the parents of all students.


a. Informing them of the event and its possible impact on the school community and age group (e.g., developmental issues)


b. Indicating that both parents and students who experience stress around this event may contact Guidance Counselors or other Behavioral Health staff in the school. Guidance may wish to also post on the school website some quoted material, or links to articles or websites to help parents talk with their children (particularly very young children) about this loss. Sometimes, it has been necessary to offer a morning support meeting for parents when the circumstances are especially upsetting to the school community.


Be sure that this letter (or email) DOES NOT go to the family which has experienced the loss.

SAMPLE PARENT LETTER FOR ALICE DRILL

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We will be holding an emergency drill on [insert day / date], using the principles outlined in the A.L.I.C.E. Program brought to us by Sgt. Demos Watertown Police Department. A.L.I.C.E. stands for ALERT, LOCKDOWN, INFORM, COUNTER AND EVACUATE. This drill prepares staff and students for an incident involving an intruder at the Lowell school.

Students will be provided with the particulars of the drill. Here is an outline of the information students are being given:


  • We will be practicing a drill to keep you safe in the event that an intruder enters the Lowell School.

  • This procedure, called ALICE, has been in place across Watertown School District.

  • This way of responding to threats gives our teachers choices about how best to keep our children safe based on how close they are to the threat.

  • Monday, teachers will have two choices: lockdown or evacuate.

  • If the teacher chooses to lockdown, he/she will turn off the lights and lock the door. They may also barricade the door as necessary. They will move students away from the door and out of sight, but the students and teachers will remain prepared to evacuate should the situation change.

  • If the teacher chooses to evacuate, students will follow their teacher swiftly and silently to the nearest exit. Teachers and other staff will be positioned around the outside of the building, and students will proceed directly to them and wait for the all-clear to return to the building.

  • During this drill, students must follow the directions of their teacher throughout the drill.


All school personnel and students will participate in the A.L.I.C.E. Drill. When the drill begins, classroom teachers will make a decision based on the proximity of the would-be intruder and students will be asked to follow that direction, whether the decision is to lock down and barricade in the classroom, or evacuate the building if it is safe to do so.

After we practice the ALICE drill we will practice an Off-Site Evacuation. In the event of an emergency, we may need to relocate to an alternative site. Our secondary site is the Watertown High School: 50 Columbia Street Watertown, Ma O2472.

There will be Watertown Police present during our drill to assess our performance and to provide helpful feedback to our staff. Preparing students and staff by running drills of all types during the school year, including fire drills, medical drills, and bus evacuation drills, is a necessary part of our safety and security program at Lowell.

Thank you in advance for your attention and cooperation, and communication with your child around this important drill. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Melina Jacovides or Michael McLaughlin our guidance counselors.

Sincerely,

Stacy A. Phelan

Principal

SAMPLE LETTER FOR UNSCHEDULED DISMISSALS

Dear Parents or Guardians,

The Lowell Elementary School will provide a notification service to parents in the event of an unscheduled early dismissal. There may be various reasons for the Lowell School to close early. Some examples may be a snowstorm, a power outage or a plumbing failure. In the event that this does happen, you will be notified through PowerSchool. You will receive an automated voice message notifying you that an unscheduled early dismissal has been implemented. You will be informed of the reason for the early dismissal and the time of the occurrence. In the event that this does occur, your child will need to be picked up early. The pick-up site will almost always be the Lowell School. In the event of the early dismissal requiring an evacuation of the premises, then the pick-up site will be the Watertown High School: 50 Columbia Street, Watertown, Ma 02472.

Here is how you can participate and make this work.

Provide Telephone Contacts. Telephone contacts are important. One number will not be

Sufficient. Please assign yourself as the primary contact person who will be responsible for

Your child. Designate 2-3 other contact people who have agreed to pick up your child in

the event of an unscheduled early dismissal.

Communicate and practice your unscheduled early dismissal procedure with your child. You or your designee will be responsible for your child’s safety in the event of an unscheduled early dismissal. When an early dismissal is implemented your child should know that if you cannot make it, your designee will pick him up.

Respond Immediately. When you are notified regarding an unscheduled early dismissal, please make an immediate plan. If you are unable to pick up your child, please notify one of your contacts that you need their assistance and ask them to proceed to the school (or evacuation site) as directed in

the voice message.

Please do not call the school office during an unscheduled early dismissal. We have a limited number of incoming lines and they are needed for emergency contacts. If no one arrives to pick up your child we will contact you directly. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Stacy Phelan

Principal
