DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@dakendall1 Welcome, Denise! #SafeSchoolsChat

JKatzaman Mar 20 @ 3:13 PM EDT

A1 Try not to give advance notice to get as much genuine reaction as possible, but emphasize throughout it is a drill. #SafeSchoolsChat

dakendall1 Mar 20 @ 3:13 PM EDT

When conducting a lock down drill all staff must know the procedures before the drill begins. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:13 PM EDT

@AperilSellers Welcome Aperil! So glad you could join us! #safeschoolschat

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:14 PM EDT

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:12 PM EDT

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:14 PM EDT

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@PLloydHenry @PeelSchools Welcome, Phiona! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@dakendall1 Exactly. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@bibbs_jennifer Great point! #SafeSchoolsChat

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

A1Parents are aware of the "lockdown" practice to prepare their students, staff and any building personnel, #SafeSchoolsChat

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@ESSCDiversity Yes! And if furniture needs to be moved to create the space. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@bibbs_jennifer Excellent! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux Knowing our Ss so important! Being prepared to support them when needed. #safeschoolschat

RobynCharb Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

A. I think you need to consider any special events going on, visitors to the school, & make sure practice has occurred #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@Teach4life96 Welcome Dannie! So glad you could join us! #safeschoolschat

AperilSellers Mar 20 @ 3:16 PM EDT

Do staff members know and follow the proper procedures? Having a plan is not enough. Practicing the plan correctly is key. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@JKatzaman Great advice! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:16 PM EDT

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:16 PM EDT

@dakendall1 So true! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@RobynCharb I was just thinking....are there Ts in the building for a PD? Exactly! #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:17 PM EDT

A1 Really stress the importance of absolute quiet, of practicing safe and timely entering to your lockdown space. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:17 PM EDT

A1: Is there a field trip returning? Sporting event? Expecting any students back? #safeschoolschat

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux you are totally right - this extremely important #SafeSchoolsChat

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:17 PM EDT

#SafeSchoolsChat A1) Knowing if anyone is off campus or if parents are approaching the building.

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@MrsMikesell Paramount! We recently had lockdown drill & 1 of my Ss, recent immigrant from Central Am, was VERY concerned. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@Teach4life96 Welcome, Dannie! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@AperilSellers Absolutely. #safeschoolschat

wanyebao8 Mar 20 @ 3:18 PM EDT

A1: If this is the first time for the students, it is important that they know the purpose and procedure of the lockdown. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:18 PM EDT

@ESSCDiversity Yes, we need to constantly do this in MS (quiet part). #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:18 PM EDT

Great point! #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/jj7RfIAlGN

RobynCharb Mar 20 @ 3:15 PM EDT

A. I think you need to consider any special events going on, visitors to the school, & make sure practice has occurred #SafeSchoolsChat

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:19 PM EDT

@AperilSellers And all staff members need to know...not just teaching faculty and admin. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:19 PM EDT

@Teach4life96 Absolutely! #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:19 PM EDT

Excellent point! #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/lmO0FeLXDe

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:17 PM EDT

#SafeSchoolsChat A1) Knowing if anyone is off campus or if parents are approaching the building.

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:19 PM EDT

A1: we are a satellite for college classes, will Ss be entering the building? #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:20 PM EDT

@wanyebao8 Yesss! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:20 PM EDT

Question #2 coming up in a moment..... #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:20 PM EDT

Is the lockdown at lunch/recess - what is the protocol then? #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:20 PM EDT

@wanyebao8 The younger Ss may need a "practice" before the practice. Going through the drill. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:21 PM EDT

A1: at the HS: is the pool being used? If so, who is in there? #safeschoolschat

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:22 PM EDT

@PLloydHenry Our district has drills that span across the day. Lunch time was interesting last year. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:22 PM EDT

Q#2: How can you be sure that everyone inside and outside of the building knows when a lockdown is called? #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

AperilSellers Mar 20 @ 3:23 PM EDT

What's the protocol for visitors in the building? In case of lockdown, it's important to think through possible scenarios. #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:23 PM EDT

@teresagross625 @wanyebao8 Absolutely. We've practiced it with all great levels in our gymnasium. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:23 PM EDT

@PLloydHenry Can't fear those unstructured times, need to practice anytime! #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@AperilSellers Nice! #Safeschoolschat

FoleyKev Mar 20 @ 3:24 PM EDT

Greetings from Ireland #SafeSchoolsChat

5StarStudents Mar 20 @ 3:24 PM EDT

A2:Cell phones, PA system, get outside if you, alarm. #SafeSchoolsChat

RobynCharb Mar 20 @ 3:24 PM EDT

A2: PA systems need to be checked regularly to make sure you can hear announcements in ALL areas! #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/nSfeyeP9sM

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:22 PM EDT

Q#2: How can you be sure that everyone inside and outside of the building knows when a lockdown is called? #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@ESSCDiversity this is great - SS then get a chance to learn expectations.#SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@AperilSellers Absolutely. People approaching the building. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:24 PM EDT

@FoleyKev Welcome, Kevin! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:25 PM EDT

@FoleyKev Welcome Kevin! Glad you could join us! #safeschoolschat

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:25 PM EDT

#safeschoolschat A2) We use a REMIND alert to staff and parents. Also thought of having flag to set out front of office.

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:25 PM EDT

@RobynCharb Great point! Absolutely! #safeschoolschat

itsmeSpiri Mar 20 @ 3:26 PM EDT

A2) we used to have different code words/phrases that would alert those inside the building, outside...not sure #safeschoolschat

JKatzaman Mar 20 @ 3:26 PM EDT

A2 Announce the lockdown exercise over the intercom and outside speakers. That's the speediest communication. #SafeSchoolsChat

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:26 PM EDT

@FoleyKev #SafeSchoolsChat Hi Kevin!

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:26 PM EDT

Very nice! #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/RiONOBWjZz

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:25 PM EDT

#safeschoolschat A2) We use a REMIND alert to staff and parents. Also thought of having flag to set out front of office.

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:26 PM EDT

A2 In a practice drill everyone knows it's going to occur. We then have an announcement. Would be the same in a "real" one. #SafeSchoolsChat

itsmeSpiri Mar 20 @ 3:27 PM EDT

A2) Would also have Share 911 alerts, Honeywell alerts for parents #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@Teach4life96 Nice! #safeschoolschat Non-verbal communication important as well!

AperilSellers Mar 20 @ 3:27 PM EDT

A2: For schools w a strong social media presence, the lockdown drill could be posted on FB & Twitter to inform parents. #safeschoolschat

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:27 PM EDT

A2 Our directions & announcements are broadcast over PA, which I believe is also heard outside building on school grounds. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:27 PM EDT

@JKatzaman You got it! #SafeSchoolsChat

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:27 PM EDT

A2: Post it on school website, social media & on school sign at the gate - maybe on a sign on the door? #SafeSchoolsChat

MathFlashcards Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

Dannie Sue Foster on Twitter https://t.co/6vWOtP8GsH #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/GGm4RJXRjr

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri What about visitors inside the building? Would they know the words too? #safeschoolschat Thinking: parents.

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@bibbs_jennifer Yes! #SafeSchoolsChat

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@Teach4life96 great ideas #SafeSchoolsChat

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

A1 An outside practice or real situation(recess) we would go to a nearby building(school). Signs are used. Whistle. #SafeSchoolsChat

edu_sanders70 Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

Nice! We use @RemindHQ for high alerts as well. Even the drills. #safeschoolschat https://t.co/sKiJhmsOVu

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:25 PM EDT

#safeschoolschat A2) We use a REMIND alert to staff and parents. Also thought of having flag to set out front of office.

dakendall1 Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

A2 Use the PA system and announce the lockdown. Give as many directions as possible so all can hear. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:28 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux Yes, I have seen that. #safeschoolschat

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri We, too, had different phrases for different situations. Became confusing to remember them all so we condensed #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:29 PM EDT

@PLloydHenry So many different ways to reach people! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:30 PM EDT

Question #3 coming up in a moment.... #safeschoolschat

AperilSellers Mar 20 @ 3:30 PM EDT

Informing staff before lockdown drill will allow Ts the opportunity to speak to Ss prior to the drill. Review expectations #safeschoolschat

itsmeSpiri Mar 20 @ 3:30 PM EDT

@teresagross625 No, I don't think they would know, not sure what they would do...stay in office? #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:30 PM EDT

@dakendall1 Yes, absolutely. #safeschoolschat

itsmeSpiri Mar 20 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux Yes! Then they started with colors Code Red, Code Blue, still confusin! #SafeSchoolsChat

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:31 PM EDT

A2 We have "walkie talkies" at recess also. Communication is held to a minimum to none after announcement. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:31 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri Was just curious. We always have parents in the building. :) #safeschoolschat or substitutes?

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:32 PM EDT

Q#3: What types of incidents would initiate a lockdown? #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:32 PM EDT

@teresagross625 isn't it great😄 #SafeSchoolsChat

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:32 PM EDT

@teresagross625 @itsmeSpiri Parents should be aware of procedures as well as subs. Impt. to educate them. #SafeSchoolsChat

itsmeSpiri Mar 20 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@teresagross625 Every room has binder w/emergency procedures, I am assuming they would follow protocol #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@ESSCDiversity Yes! I have seen that! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:33 PM EDT

@PLloydHenry Absolutely! #safeschoolschat

RobynCharb Mar 20 @ 3:34 PM EDT

A3: Intruder, someone with a weapon #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/drYU0sSlw9

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:32 PM EDT

Q#3: What types of incidents would initiate a lockdown? #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri When we hear announcement over PA it now comes w/ updates about what type of situation & location in building #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri Nice! :) #safeschoolschat

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:34 PM EDT

A3: intruder(s), violent incidents in & around the school or other things that could put Ss or staff at risk of danger #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:34 PM EDT

@RobynCharb Absolutely! #safeschoolschat

5StarStudents Mar 20 @ 3:34 PM EDT

A3:Intruder in the building, incidents near or in the school, threat to the school. #SafeSchoolsChat

JKatzaman Mar 20 @ 3:35 PM EDT

A3 A lockdown kicks in with detection or warning of suspicious activity in, around or near a school facility. #SafeSchoolsChat

itsmeSpiri Mar 20 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux Yes, & then my cell would start buzzing with alerts & updates too #SafeSchoolsChat

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:35 PM EDT

#safeschoolschat A3) Potential threat to student safety near/on campus. May start with "hold", then graduate to LD if necessary.

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:35 PM EDT

A3: Active Assailant #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:35 PM EDT

@5StarStudents Absolutely. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@5StarStudents Exactly! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@PLloydHenry Yes.....like the "putting Ss or staff at risk of danger"...... #safeschoolschat

wanyebao8 Mar 20 @ 3:36 PM EDT

A3: Anything that threatens the safety of the people in the school. #SafeSchoolsChat

edu_sanders70 Mar 20 @ 3:36 PM EDT

A3)Suspicious packages, escapee nearby, unwanted visitors in school to name a few? #safeschoolschat https://t.co/wdTADOsJns

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:32 PM EDT

Q#3: What types of incidents would initiate a lockdown? #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@JKatzaman You got it! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:36 PM EDT

@JKatzaman "suspicious activity"......like it. #safeschoolschat

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:37 PM EDT

A3 From human danger to animals(outside at recess) you can call a lockdown. #safeschoolschat

PeterSklar_ Mar 20 @ 3:37 PM EDT

#safeschoolschat Hope you'll forgive my jumping in with a question: how do we effectively ensure safety without creating a climate of fear?

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@Teach4life96 Absolutely! #safeschoolschat

itsmeSpiri Mar 20 @ 3:37 PM EDT

A3) Bank robbery, shooting, if strong police force in area, our neighborhood fox who likes to play on our playground #SafeSchoolsChat

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@itsmeSpiri @teresagross625 We do too.Imp for Ts 2 remember 2 mention binder in sub plans.Know I haven't always done that #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:37 PM EDT

@edu_sanders70 Yes, not always people! Could be a "thing". #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@PeterSklar_ Please feel free and join the conversation! #safeschoolschat Welcome!

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:38 PM EDT

A1 As mentioned by many any imminent dangerous situation in, near, or within a certain distance of the school settings. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@ESSCDiversity Wouldn't have thought of animals either..... #safeschoolschat

AperilSellers Mar 20 @ 3:38 PM EDT

A3: Lockdowns can be caused by natural disasters (tornado), criminal activity (intruder in bldg, escaped convict in area) #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@PeterSklar_ Practice that focuses on the 'why'. #SafeSchoolsChat

edu_sanders70 Mar 20 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@JKatzaman @DavisWelcome well said sir! #safeschoolschat https://t.co/AEXjyPySN2

ESSCDiversity Mar 20 @ 3:39 PM EDT

A3 We had a sighting by a resident of a Bobcat near our school we ended up having indoor recess. Although not a lockdown. #SafeSchoolsChat

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:39 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux @itsmeSpiri @teresagross625 it might be nice to have this given to them by office staff #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:39 PM EDT

Question #4 coming up in a moment..... #safeschoolschat

PeterSklar_ Mar 20 @ 3:41 PM EDT

#safeschoolschat I love that this chat exists, but security in essence should not only mean freedom from danger, but freedom from fear.

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:41 PM EDT

Excellent conversations today! :) #safeschoolschat

FoleyKev Mar 20 @ 3:42 PM EDT

A3.We never had a lockdown but we have closed down due to snow and dangerous driving conditions #SafeSchoolsChat

TracyMailloux Mar 20 @ 3:42 PM EDT

A3 Intruders, weapons spotted in, out or around building... #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:42 PM EDT

Q#4: What role should law enforcement officials play in the lockdown process! #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

AperilSellers Mar 20 @ 3:42 PM EDT

There are different lockdown levels depending on threat level. It's important Ts explain the purpose of the drill to Ss. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Mar 20 @ 3:42 PM EDT

@PeterSklar_ Absolutely! #SafeSchoolsChat

Teach4life96 Mar 20 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@PeterSklar_ Hopefully that is accomplished by knowing what to do. We drill monthly and fear has not been an issue. #SafeSchoolsChat

PLloydHenry Mar 20 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@PeterSklar_ good point - of course fear can be crippling - prep for & awareness of danger can be empowering #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Mar 20 @ 3:43 PM EDT

@AperilSellers Absolutely. The more they know/understand, reduces anxiety/fear. #safeschoolschat
