Safety Week Is a Success at Park Community Charter School

Drills Completed for Park Community School Family

This week students at Park Community Charter School completed several drills as part of the Kaukauna Area School District Safety Week.  The following drills were practiced this week:

• Monday - Fire Drill
• Tuesday - No School
• Wednesday - Severe Weather Drill
• Thursday - Learn about ALICE - ALICE stands for Alert, Lock Down, Inform, Counter and Evacuate.  Students and staff read the book I'm Not Scared... I'm Prepared! by Julia Cook to prepare for the Hold, Lock Down and Evacuation Drills on Friday.
• Friday - With the assistance of the Kaukauna Police Department students and staff held Hold, Lock Down and Evacuation drills.

Each morning on the daily announcements I also spoke to the students about various ways to stay safe in the community.  These topics included the following:

• Wear a bike helmet when riding your bike!
• Know your full name, phone number and address so that police can help you if you are lost.
• Cross roads at the marked crossings and remember to look both ways.
• Remember to never talk to or leave an area outside with a stranger.

Our students did a great job taking the drills seriously and listening and following directions all week.  Their hard work and attention to this important topic will help keep our school family safe.
