  • Call 911.

 

If you hear gunshots:

  • If possible, determine where shooting is taking place.
  • Seek safe shelter.
  • If outside, stay as low to the ground as possible, and find any kind of cover.
  • In inside, go to lockdown procedures.
  • Teachers take attendance and notify the building administrator of missing students or staff as soon as it is safe to do so.
