14 Sep Lockdown Drill

Dear Challenger Families- 

Today, your student practiced a lockdown drill at school. The purpose of a lockdown is to secure staff, students, and visitors into the nearest secured classroom to minimize their exposure to a potential threat.  The lockdown plan, when implemented, serves to minimize the risk of injury or death to students, staff, faculty and any visitors who are on campus at the time of the threat. During a lockdown, students stay in their locked classroom with a staff member, remain silent and sit in a secure area until the perceived threat has left.  

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this drill or other safety concerns.  

Kind Regards, 

Linda Ogden, Dean of Students
