⭐️⭐️⭐️ DRILL INSTRUCTIONS⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a reminder for all staff to help prepare for the upcoming active shooter drill.
*We are not advertising this drill to students and families in advance.
Please carefully review the instructions provided below.
On April 8, 2024, we will conduct an Active Shooter Drill, which will be divided into three parts:
Active Shooter Drill Goal:
Getting students into classes during the passing period from 2nd period to advocacy.
#1. The drill will begin via the intercom at 10:07 am.
Teachers, when the bell rings at 10:05 to dismiss 2nd period, please keep your doors open this prompts students to enter classes with open doors.
( For the drill, students are not encouraged to go to the parking lots or to the restrooms)
#2. Lockdown: All campus doors should be closed by 10:10 AM ( The class will follow lockdown procedures)
Teachers and Staff, all campus doors should be closed by 10:10 AM :
Close and lock your door.
Close / Lock windows
Turn off lights
Instruct your students to wait quietly until you hear the intercom message " The campus is all clear, this concludes our active shooter drill."
#3. After the active shooter drill ends, students and staff will proceed to your advocacy class.
The drill is expected to conclude at 10:20 am. The intercom message will signal the end of the drill, and staff and students should proceed to their regularly scheduled advocacy classes.
Have a GREAT weekend,
Monica French

Hey PG,
Here’s what’s planned for Advocacy on Monday after the break.
Click on the orange cone for the announcements. I will record the announcements and email them to staff halfway through advocacy. They will also be available in the Advocacy Update.
HERE is the Google Slides Presentation. Below are more detailed descriptions and answers to possible questions you may have about the lesson. I apologize for the length; there are many moving parts this week. SENIOR TEACHERS, scroll to the end of this email to read some information about Senior Reflection Windows.
ASB will come into your classroom to deliver the “Make a Wish Stars” and give a short presentation on Kindness Week. ASB students are spread pretty thin around campus, so they might come at the start, middle, or end of advocacy.
Collect Notes for the next Student Senate Meeting. Have your student senator access the Google Form under the “Advocacy” category in their grade-level Google Classroom. Please fill out only one Google Form per advocacy class. Here’s the link if you want it. reminder that you must be logged in to your @egusd account to access the link.
Have students access their “High School Portfolio To-Do List” under the High School Portfolio category in their grade-level Google Classroom and work on writing their reflection window. Please instruct them to review the sample Online Portfolio, also found in Google Classroom. (We will also work on the Portfolio on December 11th)
i. New this year: Students will type their reflection window in their online portfolio; there will be no official turn-in process for their reflection windows. You may ask to see students’ online portfolios and reflection windows by having them send you the link to their website, but it is not required.
ii. Sample Website: Here’s a link to a sample Online Portfolio that I made. This is also in the students’ Google Classroom.
iii. Here’s a link to the High School Portfolio Website if you have additional questions.
iv. Staff Google Classroom: This information, and a lot more, is posted in the staff Google Classroom under the “High School Portfolio” category.
SENIORS: Please complete the above. Seniors had a different prompt for their reflection window their freshman year and may need to rewrite or re-word their reflection window prompts to fit the prompts aligned with the Graduate Profile, this is so that their prompts are aligned with the High School Reflection Essay they will write in their English class.

Happy Tuesday!
Here is the advocacy lesson for tomorrow's First Thing in the morning (unless you teach zero period). See testing locations and the day’s schedule at the end of this email.
Juniors and Seniors:
You can show students the review of the High School Portfolio video, but they may only need to see the first parts (3:20-7:33). I have directed students to review specific time stamps in their to-do list below. However, if you want to show the video to the whole class here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk6-7zLS2NM
Direct students to the “High School Portfolio” section of their Google Classroom. They will find a To-Do list for the High School Portfolio. Have them begin working on that to-do list.
Here are a copy of the to-do lists if you want to see them
Freshmen: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DN2D42lJ0JnmdDhVhU0Q40K6xDbUKdxzEnGWJAAvnA8/edit?usp=drive_link

i. I added this because students might have some basic questions that you can help them with about things on campus (especially Freshmen). If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, you can skip it. If you get asked a question that you don’t know the answer to then reply to this email and I will send a FAQ sheet out with next week’s advocacy email
Staff Must Meet Video
Students sign up for Grade-Level Google Classroom
The codes are on the slides and also on this email (see right)
