• Students in the library should stay there, and the librarians and/or library staff will lock the doors.
• Students in bathrooms should return quickly to their classrooms or nearest safe room.
• Students in the hallways should report to the library or a nearest classroom.
• All teachers without a class should remain in a locked classroom.
• All teachers with a radio should set the channel to #1 emergency and await instructions.
• Teachers in classes with students should maintain a calm and quiet atmosphere so announcements will be heard.
• All doors, windows and gates should be secured. Curtains, blinds and shutters should be closed.
• Everyone should move away from windows and doors as much as possible.
• No students are to leave a locked room until permission is given by the administration.
• Administrators should check their emergency zones and report in once they are clear.
• Once an all-clear message is issued, students and teachers can return to their daily routine.
Actual Intruder:
• Follow drill outlined above.
• The only difference between an intruder drill and actual intruder is that if an unauthorized or dangerous intruder is identified on campus, a staff member should contact an administrator or call the Business Office at 2100 or ES Principal at 2212, if there is no answer 2000 for Reception, and request that they push the emergency button, automatically requesting police to come to the school. Alternatively, a staff member may go to one of these offices and push the button her/himself.
