Safety Week
This week all schools in the Kaukauna Area School District will be practicing important safety drills. At Park Community we are teaching the procedures necessary to keep our school family safe.
Monday
Students will practice a Fire Drill and watch the video below on how to cross a street safely.
Wednesday
On Wednesday afternoon we will be practicing our Severe Weather drills.
I will be leading the drill over the PA from my office.
- Watch announcement - Students stay in their rooms and continue doing normal school work.
- Warning announcement – Students move to safe places. Mrs. Tennessen and I check the halls to make sure that students and staff are in their safe areas and are quiet.
- The All Clear announcement is made over the PA for students to return to class.
Thursday
ALICE Introduction to Students
Teachers will introduce ALICE in their classrooms using the book I’m Not Scared…I’m Prepared by Julia Cook during an interactive read aloud. MAPEL teachers and Pupil Services staff are instructed to sit in on a classroom presentation of this book so that they hear the same message as everyone else. The book reviews ALICE which stands for Alert, Lock Down, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. The book uses the same language that we will be using over the PA and in our classrooms when we drill on Friday. A copy of the book is available for parents to review.
Friday
During the morning we will be practicing the following ALICE drills Hold-Lockdown-Evacuation. Students are reminded that there are many reasons for a school to use these drills not just in the case of a dangerous person in the building. During the final evacuation drill Park Community students will be going to our rally points which were selected by the Kaukauna Police Department. During this drill Mrs. Tennessen will be at one area and Mr. Kortens at another linked by radio communication.
