To that end, a variety of drills and exercises will be conducted throughout the school year. These activities are intended to train students and staff on appropriate behaviors during school emergencies. This letter is to inform you of the different types of drills along with their descriptions, and informs you when our first lockdown drill will take place. The timing for the various drills will be random and take the forms of: Lockdown Drill: An exercise which keeps students in their classroom secured until the emergency is over. Our first practice lock down will take place on September 5th. Fire Drill: An exercise which totally evacuates the buildings on the campus (but keeps the students on the grounds). The drill also doubles as an evacuation exercise (non-fire related). Bus Evacuation Drill: Mandated by the State of Arizona, these drills are conducted twice a year for all students in the District. These exercises are conducted on the campus. We respectfully request that you discuss these exercises with your student(s) because they are an integral part of the District’s commitment to the safety of all students, staff, and visitors on our campus. Should you have any questions or concerns please contact your child’s teacher, or the building principal, Lainie Kitzmiller at 879-3404 or [email protected].
