Dear Parents/Guardians,
Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for all of us. We have a crisis management
and emergency preparedness plan for our school that is reviewed and updated
regularly. Our plan includes procedures on how to respond to incidents such as fires
and tornadoes. Students and staff regularly practice these drills every school year. We
also practice lockdown drills.
Virginia Law (22.1-137.2) requires schools to notify parents at least 24 hours before a
school practices a lockdown drill. However, we are not required to share the exact date
and time of the drill. We are required to practice lockdown drills two times a year. FCPS lockdown drills do not include any type of active shooter scenario training, they are instruction and classroom based.
Additional information on our lockdown drill program to include parent tips and FAQs
can be found on the Emergency Planning and Crisis Response web page. After
reviewing this content, you should discuss the value of these safety drills with your child.
Keeping our school safe and secure for all students and staff involves the participation
of the entire school community, and we thank you for your help to keep our school safe.
Sincerely,
Principal Delaney
