VES practiced a Lockdown drill this morning at 8:30am. Students were reminded of expectations for Lockdown procedure which are Locks, Lights, Out of Sight! This drill is to practice our response if a threat is inside the building. We typically share this information with the community in case a student brings it up at home. Today was simply a practice drill. If you have questions about the Standard Response Protocol, please refer to the attachment or call VES with questions.
