In order to meet the new requirements of the Amended Code of Virginia 22.1-137.2, lockdown drills must be conducted at least four times each school year.
On Wednesday, September 28 at 3:00 p.m., our students and staff will take part in the second of our four annual “Lockdown Drills” for this school year. A real “lockdown” procedure is initiated in the rare event a high risk incident (involving weapons, stranger intrusion, etc.) occurs in the school, on school property or in the vicinity of the school that could endanger the safety of the students and staff.
A lockdown requires that all students and staff remain in classrooms or other designated secure locations that are away from danger and that minimize access and visibility. During the drill, signs will be posted on the entrance doors indicating the school is in lockdown. No one will be allowed into the school at this time. Similar procedures would be followed in a real situation.
The safety of our students and staff at Bull Run Elementary School is a top priority and the drill will help ensure that we are able to successfully manage crisis situations at the school. Please note that this drill is for practice purposes only. Please do not hesitate to contact Jason Pensler, principal, at jmpensler@fcps.edu should you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jason Pensler
Principal
