SECURE - “Get Inside. Lock Outside Doors.”

Parent Information: Secure is called when there is a potentially dangerous situation outside the building. Students and staff are brought into the building, and the outside doors will be locked. The school might display the Building is Secured poster at entry doors or nearby windows. Inside, the school day will proceed - it will be business as usual.

Should parents come to the school during a secure event?

Probably not. Every effort is made to conduct classes as normal during a secure event. Additionally, parents may be asked to stay outside during a Secure event.

What if parents need to pick up their student?

Depending on the situation, it may not be safe to release the student. As the situation evolves, Secure might change to a Monitored Entry and/or Controlled Release.
