Full Lock-down
Full Lock-down is used in a serious situation where the threat is inside, on, or very near to the school. Over the PA system we will transmit the following message:
May I have your attention, all staff and students!
This is a Together We Grow Learning & Childcare Centre Emergency
The school is now in FULL LOCK-DOWN!
The school is now in FULL LOCK-DOWN!
We will then take the following steps:
- Students are directed from the hallway into the nearest classroom.
- Classroom doors are locked
- Everyone is kept facing away from the glass and doors.
- We stay away from open or exposed situations
- We pull down shades or drapes
- We turn off lights, and cover glass on door
- We take attendance, and note who is absent
- We do NOT contact the office, but wait until they contact us.
- We do not use radio, TV, or cell phones in the classrooms
- We remain calm, and reassure students that the emergency is under control.
- If gunshots are heard, everyone should lie on the floor
- We do not release anyone, until the Supervisor has called an All Clear
When outdoors, students on the playground will be notified of the LOCK-DOWN and will proceed immediately to our Designated Emergency Location:
