INTRUDER

All of you did an outstanding job today with the intruder. You were prepared and very cooperative!

I appreciate your cooperation and dedication. THANKS!!

Just a few small notes to remember about Intruder lockdowns:

1. If anyone other than your students and yourself are in your classroom when lockdown is announced, please ask them to report to the office. When I announced the lockdown today, I knew the intruder was in the building, but wasn't sure of her location. Also, I later found that there were others the intruder had contacted in our building and I was unaware they were here - they did not check in with the office. I never saw them it was reported by teachers later in the day.

2. Clay, Gooden, Goodwin, Gaskin and Young - before locking your classroom doors, check the exterior doors near your room to be sure they are closed (not proped open). The other intruders had to enter the building today from the 5/6th grade wing. Make sure all exterior doors are pulled together during the day!!! Do not prop doors open for any reason. Keep a check on them at all times.

3. If you are in the lunchroom when a lockdown is announced, make sure the exterior door is closed and pull the double doors together and lock the dead bolt. In reality, you would need to move students to the back of lunchroom down and away from windows. A weapon wasn't a concern today; however, you never know when that may be the case. Always use precaution in any given situation.

Again, thanks for an oustanding job.
