A LOCKDOWN may be called if we experience a threat of active assailant/active shooter. This notification is reserved for an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury.
What do I do if I receive an LOCKDOWN notification?
Decide on an appropriate action for yourself, which may include:
RUN: if you can safely leave the area and exit the building then do so.
HIDE: lock entry doors to the classroom or office, turn off lights and stay clear of doors and windows. Remain calm and quiet, SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONE. Stay in the room until police arrive. Remember it may be a number of hours before you can be safely evacuated.
FIGHT: if you have no other choice and have determined that the only way to survive is to physically attack the perpetrator, do so aggressively. Remember, you are fighting for your life!
When Evacuating the building
When evacuating the building, if possible to do so safely, take only necessary items, such as keys or cell phones. Take nothing that will slow you down or distract from the goal of getting out or that could be mistaken as a weapon.
Follow all Police instructions and keep your hands visible at all times.
When safe to do so, report to 911 any injuries at your location.
If you find a suspicious package, call 7911 (Daytime), if necessary, 911. The operator will contact the Code Team
Do not use cell phones or two way radios near the package.

If you receive a telephone bomb threat, keep the caller on the line as long as possible; try to record every word spoken; then, call 7911 (Daytime), if necessary, 911. The operator will contact the Code Team
