Bottom line is use common sense, remain calm, and do what is in your students and personal safest interest and do not do anything that would put you or students at risk!

Full Lockdown:

· Close and lock your classroom door
· Turn off the lights
· Leave shades open (police/emergency personnel may see in your room)
· If you have a student or person in your room who is not a member of your class call (34721) to report this person
· If you are missing a student(s) call (34721) and report who is missing
· If you need to report any life threatening emergency information call 911
· By calling 34721 the admin in charge will coordinate missing student info

Threat in your room and cannot get to your class phone? Use your cell phone or a students, and do the best that you can.
Should books and backpacks be hidden? If possible yes! Make the room look unoccupied.
