Crisis Drill #3

11/16/2018

 
​We will be having an A.L.I.C.E. drill with the focus and emphasis of the drill being the lock-down aspect.  This drill is part of the new requirement the state of Kansas announced in July. We will conduct this drill early next week. An announcement will be made over the intercom to begin the drill.  
 
The expectation for this drill is door locked and out of sight. During the drill, the expectation is for staff (once you have locked down and are out of sight) to go over some key aspects of the A.L.I.C.E. protocol with students.  The protocol and tips for the A.L.I.C.E. drills are listed below. It is important that our students understand and take these drills seriously. Students are not to be on their phones or talking while the drill is in place and should be following instruction and talking points of the A.L.I.C.E. protocol.
 
Some key aspects of the A.L.I.C.E protocols:
  • Out of sight: Students must be out of the line of sight if an active shooter or intruder is in the building. This includes but not limited to moving away from the door, windows, and turning off lights and closing blinds to minimize visibility.
  • Barricade Door: This tactic is used when the decision to shelter in place has been made. Barricading the door with chairs, desks, or other class room items is necessary to execute this tactic. When this tactic is deployed you may have students assist with this. 
  • Counter: This is the last resort should an aggressive counter need to be used to protect yourself and your school community. It is important to acknowledge and consider what you and possibly your group will do in order to defeat or escape the aggressor.  
  • Evacuate: If an evacuation is an option, USE IT. In considering evacuation, you must assess and process the amount of information available to you in order to make a calculated or strategic decision to evacuate the building.
  •  “All-Clear”: During a drill or an actual event it is important to understand the process of an “All-Clear”. Administrative personnel or the proper authorities will be the only individuals announcing an “All-Clear”.

New Influenza Expectations

11/8/2018

 
​As Influenza season begins, there a few items that need to be addressed this school year. 

Influenza (“flu”) is a contagious disease that is caused by Influenza viruses, and is spread mainly by coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Symptoms can include: • fever/chills • sore throat • muscle/body aches • fatigue • cough • headache • runny or stuffy nose (CDC, 2018).

There are new exclusion guidelines for schools given by the Johnson County Health Department for Influenza. 

Students who have been diagnosed with Influenza by a Physician will now be required to stay home from school for 7 days from the onset of symptoms.  Influenza no longer falls under the “fever free for 24 hours” rule.   Also, these new guidelines apply even if your student has received Tamiflu and/or the flu shot.

Please let the school nurse know if your student has been diagnosed with Influenza.  The district tracks cases of influenza and it becomes useful when we begin to see a large number of absences in certain grades/classrooms.
​
Feel free to contact the school nurse with any questions you may have regarding this information.
