ERobbPrincipal Feb 14 @ 3:15 PM EST

@DavisWelcome #safeschoolschat So important for signs to say "Welcome" instead of "Visitors Must"

DavisWelcome Feb 14 @ 3:15 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal You got it, my friend! #SafeSchoolsChat

crockow8 Feb 14 @ 3:15 PM EST

Question #2 #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome https://t.co/tDd7kybQ6o

ShanaVWhite Feb 14 @ 3:23 PM EST

A2: Counselors available from the district and school. Don't rush "business as usual" for Ss and Ts. It will take time #SafeSchoolsChat

@crockow8 All the time. Then during a crisis the process is flawless. #safeschoolschat

crockow8 Feb 14 @ 3:24 PM EST

@ShanaVWhite This is a great point Shana. Each person grieves/deals w/ crisis in their own way & at their own speed. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:25 PM EST

crockow8 Feb 14 @ 3:29 PM EST

Very true Paul. Our society has made it shameful to reach out for mental/emotional help. #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/3OqUMkxiQn

kesselpa Feb 14 @ 3:28 PM EST

A2 preventing a crisis would be the best I think, sometimes peps feel ashamed to get help this is a prob we should work on2 #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:30 PM EST

@kesselpa Knowing ourselves before a crisis happens will help us during and after the crisis. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:30 PM EST

@crockow8 It's okay to ask for help. People need to feel safe doing that. #safeschoolschat

So true! #safeschoolschat https://t.co/fK1Pv4F8qd

ERobbPrincipal Feb 14 @ 3:33 PM EST

@teresagross625 @DavisWelcome A3 #safeschoolschat For a school Principal- think it is important to review with each grade level-

#SafeSchoolsChat Teachers can review school safety procedures with students

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:34 PM EST

@kesselpa Yes! I am the same way! Little checklists are my favorite! #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 14 @ 3:34 PM EST

@crockow8 That's excellent, Connie! #SafeSchoolsChat

DavisWelcome Feb 14 @ 3:34 PM EST

A3: Conduct an Active Assailant Drill and then share the video with your school community. #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/ABBZsBeRwS

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:34 PM EST

A3: "Checklist Manifesto" (book) has great ideas for creating checklists for different situations #safeschoolschat

crockow8 Feb 14 @ 3:34 PM EST

Now that's something I know our school does not have. Parent Reunification Process. Hmm... #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/PGGCZmBadj

ERobbPrincipal Feb 14 @ 3:35 PM EST

@crockow8 A3 #safeschoolschat Practice is important and communicating clear expectations to staff and students

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:35 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal Yes. I do with all my classes, MS. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 14 @ 3:35 PM EST

@crockow8 This process is critical to have mapped out. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:36 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal Absolutely! I think of kindergarten vs. 5th grade. #safeschoolschat

crockow8 Feb 14 @ 3:36 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal I know I feel more confident when I practice something. In an emergency it helps to "just know" what to do. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:36 PM EST

@crockow8 Thoughts? #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:37 PM EST

@FoleyKev Absolutely. The more prepared, the better. #safeschoolschat

crockow8 Feb 14 @ 3:37 PM EST

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:38 PM EST

@crockow8 @ERobbPrincipal YES! So then in an actual emergency, we know the procedures automatically. #safeschoolschat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 14 @ 3:38 PM EST

@crockow8 A3 #safeschoolschat I agree- parents and our communities want safe schools- planning, practice- are important

FoleyKev Feb 14 @ 3:38 PM EST

A3.Fire drill must happen termly.I am more concerned about staff wellbeing #safeschoolschat

ScottRRocco Feb 14 @ 3:38 PM EST

A3: Drills need to be done live & at times participants shouldn't know its a drill. Fire Alarm goes off, no one says drill #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Feb 14 @ 3:39 PM EST

@crockow8 @teresagross625 I can send you detailed information about the parent reunification process. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:39 PM EST

DavisWelcome Feb 14 @ 3:41 PM EST

A4: As a T I think 1 of our best resources in an emergency is the relationships we've built w/ R Ss. They will trust/listen #SafeSchoolsChat

WayneCamo Feb 14 @ 3:47 PM EST

A4: Ensure that special needs students are attended to in an emergency since there is a tendency to leave them behind. #SafeSchoolsChat

Today's #safeschoolschat makes me think of what Eisenhower said about plans vs planning. It's about being prepared. https://t.co/7KvdwAq5dB

teresagross625 Feb 14 @ 3:48 PM EST

@crockow8 Build that rapport and create a safe environment. #safeschoolschat

AMitchell828 Feb 14 @ 3:48 PM EST

@DavisWelcome We also use a red and green card to tell if we have all kids present or missing some. #SafeSchoolsChat

crockow8 Feb 14 @ 3:50 PM EST

Yes Wayne! There should be special procedures for S's w/ special needs. I hadn't thought of that. #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/8Jya2DyfSQ
