Thank you for your flexibility and prayers on Thursday as we experienced a full day in SECURE mode around the building because of an active police event nearby. In the last two years, the Arlington Heights Police Department has helped area schools embrace common language around security measures in schools. If you would like to read more about this common language click HERE. Our whole staff trained with the AHPD last spring on this response protocol. When a SECURE mode is called for our school, activity can continue uninterrupted within the building, but students are restricted from leaving the building. Depending on guidance from the AHPD, we can either dismiss at normal dismissal times or may need to delay dismissal if the police department does not feel it safe to do so. Overall, while the day was extra stressful for our teachers and students (and we missed the last beautiful day of outdoor recess in February), we feel confident that this standard response protocol helped us maintain safety while continuing to learn in our classrooms. We thank the AHPD for their active communication throughout the event and their productive training for our teachers and staff.
