Safety Corner
Drills
Drill requirements have been entered into Raptor, so you can initiate them on the days/times you have scheduled. The way requirements and scheduling work, it may look like you have more than you need to do. For example, it’s noted that you have 3 lockdowns and 3 secure. This just means those are available for you to initiate if you want to. Per our leadership meeting, you need to have at least 2 lockdowns and 1 secure. If you have questions, please reach out.
Note: Elementary schools have it set where one evacuation drill shows up each month. If you need more at the beginning to practice at a meeting, please let me know, and I can add more.
Emergency Protocols
Some of you have discussed creating small reference sheets to place in the protective sleeve with your badge that can be referred to for the 5 actions. Here is a sample to use.
Emergency Alert Buttons (formerly called Panic Buttons)
As shared at leadership, Sonitrol will be able to add text and email alerts for when the Emergency Alert Button is used. Not only will this help if it’s accidentally pushed, but it also provides another safety alert measure to a threat on campus. Please complete this Google Form to identify the people on your campus who will receive the alert.

Business - Stipends
Elementary - Homeless/Foster Youth
This year sites without a counselor will not have a Homeless/Foster liaison. Instead of a liaison at your site, Naomi Blaine, our District Social Worker, will be working with you and your identified students. This works out perfectly as Naomi oversees the Homeless/Foster program in our district and works closely with community organizations to support needs that arise. Naomi will be reaching out to you in the next few weeks to set up a time to meet and review her role. Please reach out if you have any questions beforehand.
