Dear AR Students, Tomorrow (Thursday, Sept. 28) we will hold a lockdown drill. A lockdown confines all staff and students to a classroom due to perceived or real threats in order to minimize exposure to danger. During TTH5, each teacher will receive a lockdown drill notification sent out by radio & the NavigatePrepared alert app. Once the lockdown is initiated FOLLOW YOUR TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS. This isn't an earthquake drill, each class will respond depending on its context. Students outside of the classroom will be brought in. Once you are in the position instructed by your teacher, remain there silently. The drill will last up to 8 minutes. The teacher will receive an all clear signal and you will follow instructions before returning to your seat. There will be a Google Form shared to provide feedback. For this drill, only AR is participating, we are working with CR to coordinate drills in the future. Lockdowns can occur for many reasons. This isn't an active shooter drill. A lockdown can occur if there is a police standoff nearby, a chemical spill in Fields Landing, or a number of other emergencies in our vicinity. The drill is intended to enhance campus safety & student security. If you experience any emotional or physical difficulty during or after the drill, please inform your teacher so that we can provide support. If you have questions, please contact Principal King.
