Standard Response Protocol (SRP)

" I LOVE YOU GUYS" Foundation

The Safety and Security of our students is our number one priority here at  Southside ISD.   We understand that if we are going to help our students be successful,  we must create a safe learning  environment .  To accomplish this we have implemented programs that Texas Safe School Center recommends as "best practices." 

Some of those best practices are the "I Love You Guys" Standard Response Protocol and the Standard Reunification Method.  These procedures  are being used district wide and training, on these procedures, are given to the campus staff at the start of each school year.

About Standard Response Protocol 


The Standard Response Protocol was developed by the “I Love U Guys” Foundation, headed by John-Michael Keyes and his wife Ellen-Stoddard Keyes as a result of the tragic and unfortunate death of their daughter Emily Keyes on September 27th, 2006 at Platte Canyon High School. On this day, a gunman entered the high school, held seven girls hostage and ultimately shot and killed Emily Keyes. During the time she was held Hostage, she sent her parents text messages…”I Love You Guys” and “I Love U Guys, K?” The “I Love U Guys” Foundation was created to restore and protect the joy of youth through educational programs and positive actions in collaboration with families, schools, communities, organizations and government agencies.
