🦺🚨Safety Drills at Solar Prep
We will be conducting several safety drill throughout the year. Your child may mention these at home, and it would be helpful if you could support your child explaining the purpose of these drills. Teachers discuss the safety routines, but we know alarms and new procedures can still feel overwhelming. Here’s some information about what our drills look like:

• Fire Drills- Practiced monthly; students exit to designated outdoor locations and teachers report their student count to administrators.

• Severe Weather Drills- Practiced once in the fall and once in the spring; students move to safe interior spaces, away from windows. 

• Lockdown Drills - Practiced once in the fall and once in the spring; students go to the safest place in their classroom and practice being quiet and still while teachers secure the space.

• Hold Drills- Practiced once in the fall; building is closed to visitors entering the building and students clear the hallways and move to classrooms. Business as usual inside the classroom.

• Secure Drills- Practiced once in the spring; building is closed to visitors entering the building and students can continue business as usual, including hallway transitions.
