Dear Birch Meadow families,
I would like to bring to your attention to a safety drill that we conducted at school today. This is part of the district-wide safety plan and recommendations for all schools in our district. It is called a “shelter-in-place” drill.
Please read below for the specifics of Shelter in Place.
1. No one from the outside is allowed entry during the drill. This applies to all parents, delivery men, and all other visitors.
2. All teachers and students remain in their classrooms. The teachers conduct the usual activities and maintain normal classroom routines. Students and teachers are not required to sit on the floor with the lights out as in a lockdown.
3. We explain to students that this drill is the opposite of a fire drill. Rather than leaving the building, we stay where we are until the Shelter in Place is completed.
This would be used in the event of police activity in the neighborhood, serious weather conditions, or other situations when we would want to limit access to our school without interfering with learning activities.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Eric Sprung,
Principal
