Safety Procedures at SVRSS

The safety and security of our students and staff are a top priority for the Swan Valley Regional Secondary School and the Swan Valley School Division.  We have been implementing a number of measures as part of a comprehensive plan aimed at ensuring our school remains a safe place for our students to learn.

One of the procedures our school will be employing is a “lockdown drill”.  During a lockdown drill, classroom doors are secured and the students remain inside the room until instructed by the teacher to resume their activities.  All exterior doors are locked and no one is permitted to enter or leave the building.  Students are isolated within the school when circumstances make it safer to stay in the classroom rather than evacuate.  Just as we prepare our students to properly respond to a fire drill, they also need to be aware of the proper response during a lockdown drill.  These drills should be treated with the same level of importance as fire drills.  Please take the time to speak with your student about this procedure and reinforce its importance.  We practice these drills to ensure our school remains a safe place for teaching and learning.


Please contact me if you have any questions about lockdown drills at 204-734-4511.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
