re: Update- lockdown lifted. BR High on lockdown

Lockdown drills are sadly part of the check list just like fire and tornado drills. Fire drills are once a month and the others are different, but you likely practice 3 to 4 a year. The first one is usually announced and everyone knows so it's really not a big deal. The next ones aren't. It catches kids in hallways where teachers have to act grabbing kids and pulling them into rooms. Kids might be in the bathrooms where they have to get on a toilet and lock the door to the stall. Then the admins go around and check. They usually send a message out to parents just after it starts to make sure it's known that a drill is happening. Afterwards there are great talking points for the kids. Then you can spend time talking about self help or if they see anything weird letting grown ups know before it happens.
