SAFETY – UPCOMING BUILDING SECURITY DRILLS
All schools within Denver Public Schools are required to conduct several security drills on a regular basis. We have outlined below the different kinds of drills we practice, and the frequency with which to expect them.
LOCKDOWN: A Lockdown occurs when there is a perceived threat inside or outside our building. When: Once a semester, within the first thirty days of each semester. We are not notified in advance of when DPS Climate and Safety will conduct and observe these drills.
BUILDING EVACUATION: This entails a complete evacuation of the building in case of a fire or other similar danger. When: We are required to practice the building evacuation once a month, with the first drill happening within the first ten days of school.
SHELTER IN PLACE: This is used in case of a tornado. We move all students and staff into the hallways and away from windows and sit with our backs to the wall. When: Once a semester.
