A lockdown occurs when there is a threat within the confines of the building. In a Lockdown Drill, students are informed via intercom that we are under a "Lockdown Drill" and to take their appropriate places. District personnel, along with Mrs. Bloomfield and Mrs. Carlson, check each room and talk to the students. Once the drill is complete, an announcement is made that the drill is complete and students/staff can return to their regularly scheduled activities. We will send out a School Messenger blast when our drill is complete to inform the community.
