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.
