Intruder Drill

Dear First Grade Parents and Guardians,                                      

Today, November 20th at 1:45pm (during specials) your child participated in an Intruder Drill at Rock Bridge Elementary. 

Today all first grade teachers taught their students ALICE, which stands for:

A – Alert – You will hear an alert.
L – Lockdown – Lock your door and put things in front of it.
I – Inform – You will get further information to help you know what to do next.
C – Counteract – If needed, throw things to distract or hurt the intruders.
E – Evacuate – If you are able to run from the building, go to your school’s safe spot.

We showed our students a video called “ALICE – Your Feet Will Know Where to Go” created by Cedar Ridge students and staff members.  You can view the video here:  http://bit.ly/VnIXdy

From the video, your child also learned that an intruder is: “an unwelcome person that can come and cause danger” and who can “be dressed in any clothing and could be carrying a weapon.”  Students also learned to “stay calm, be brave, and listen to the instructions your teacher gives you.”

Please remember that we practice Intruder Drills and other drills (Fire, Severe Weather, and Earthquake) to help students and staff to be prepared if an emergency occurred. 
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher, Dr. Ryan Link or
Ms. Bonita Benson.

Sincerely,


RBE First Grade Teachers
