  • The Southern Bluffs
    Holiday Fair pgs. 5-7 Staff Spotlight pgs. 8-9 See what teacher “experiences” have Learn more about Mrs. been happening since Ahern, Mr. Fuglsang In this issue: our Holiday Fair and Mr. Peace January 2019 The Southern Bluffs Over the past several years, as a district we have taken significant steps to enhance the physical safety and security of our school building. During the school year, the students and staff practice a number of drills, including monthly fire drills, a several weather drill, and a lockdown drill. The U.S. Department of Education has recommended that school districts implement a protocol that provides more options than traditional “hide and hope” lockdown to student and staff when facing threat or harm from a violent intruder. With the assistance of the La Crosse Police Department, our Southern Bluffs Staff has been trained in a protocol called ALICE. The acronym ALICE is a non-sequential acronym to help staff and students remember options that stands for: Alert: Get the word out using clear concise language and describe the location of the event. Lockdown: Lockdown students in secure areas if evacuation is not an option. Enhance traditional lockdown by barricading. Inform: Keeping the staff and students informed continually allows for good decision making. Counter: As a last resort if the intruder enters the room, distract, confuse, and gain control. Evacuate: Reduce the number of potential targets for the intruder by evacuating the building to predetermined rally points off of school grounds. We will be discussing some of these options with students in an age appropriate manner, and class- room teachers will be reading and discussing a book with students entitled, I’m Not Scared, I‘m Pre- pared! Because I Know All About ALICE.
