School Safety and Emergency Procedures
Each school site has a plan with specified roles and responsibilities for handling various types of emergencies.
Specific safety procedures will be followed, depending on the type of emergency. Below is information about what procedures we use in each type of emergency. Every situation is unique, so school staff may adjust their response to address student safety first.

A school implements one of the following procedures from the I Love You Guys Standard Response Protocol in response to a safety issue or emergency:
HOLD
This protocol is used to keep the hallways clear of occupants. This may be due to a medical or other emergency, allowing the affected individuals to receive prompt and private care.
SECURE
When a secure campus is implemented, students and staff remain in classrooms behind locked doors, and school continues as normal.
LOCKDOWN
During a lockdown, students and staff remain in classrooms behind locked doors, staying quiet, low and out of sight. Windows and blinds are closed. Lights are turned off. A school building may go into lockdown when there is a safety concern on campus or police activity in the community. A school is ordered into lockdown by either law enforcement or the school principal.
EVACUATE
A school building evacuation may occur in the event of a safety threat in which it would be safer for students and staff to be out of the building. Students are guided to an emergency assembly area.
SHELTER
A school may use "shelter-in-place" in case of hazardous materials being released into the atmosphere. Classroom heating and air vents are turned off and covered. Windows are closed.
OFF-SITE REUNIFICATION
In the rare instance that students are transported to an off-site location due to an emergency, parents/caregivers will be notified of where and when to pick up your child. We will notify you using our emergency communication systems and the contact information you have previously provided to the school.
