Dear RBE Parents and
Guardians,
Today, March 6th at
9:00am, your child participated in an Intruder Drill at Rock Bridge Elementary
School.
All 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 school administrators, Dr. Ryan Link or
Mrs. Morgan Neale.
Sincerely,
Dr. Link and Mrs. Neale
