Standard Response Protocol for Students and Teachers

A critical ingredient in the safe school recipe is the classroom response to an incident at school. Weather events, fire, accidents, intruders and other threats to student safety are scenarios that are planned and trained for by students, teachers, staff and administration.

Our school is expanding the safety program to include the Standard Response Protocol (SRP). IN AN EMERGENCY TAKE ACTION.
