Mohonasen conducted formal lockdown drills at Mohonasen High School and Bradt Primary School. The drills were conducted by the Rotterdam Police Department and our school resource officer. The events lasted approximately 20 minutes each, during which time the buildings went into complete lockdowns as they would if actual intruders were in the buildings.
All school staff and students responded appropriately and quickly returned to their regularly scheduled activities at the end of the drill.
Drills like this are part of Mohonasen’s effort to ensure staff members districtwide are trained in how to respond during a potential emergency and to give students and staff opportunities to practice security protocol. As always, our goal is to make sure that students and staff are as safe as possible at all times, and drills like this are important opportunities for us to practice and improve our safety and security procedures.
Please take the time to discuss today’s drill with your child, including any anxiety they may have. If you have any questions about this event or any safety procedures we use here at Mohonasen, you can e-mail them to safeschool@mohonasen.org or contact your child’s school directly.
