Emergency Plan Language

• A LOCKDOWN means a threat is imminent. All exterior doors will be locked and you are asked to seek shelter behind a locked door.  Leave lights and window coverings as they are.  If your room has windows you are asked to stay out of the line of sight.
• A LOCKOUT means something on the exterior of the building is taking place.  The exterior doors will be locked but unless otherwise instructed business as usual can be conducted on the inside.  Any outside student activities will be brought indoors.
• A SHELTER IN PLACE means keeping the population at a safe location within the building.  This may mean staying where you are or being moved to a safe area.
• An EVACUATION order means to exit the building in an orderly fashion to a predetermined location.  Discuss with your class where your meeting spot is.
