1. School Safety Discussion - ALICE
Parent Presentation

2. Does anyone know when the last time someone died in a school fire?

3. 12/1/1958
Why so long ago?

4. ALICE: A – Alert All are authorized to announce No codes are used
L – Lockdown
Including barricade
I – Inform
Use technology to provide updates on information
C – Counter
Interrupt the intruder’s plan
As a last resort only
E – Evacuate
Leave the building if safe to do so

5. What ALICE is and is not…
Common sense approach to a situation
Tools for teachers to use
Options based on the situation
Empowering all to make choices
A set of life-skills for all situations
What ALICE is not:
A sequential set of actions
A prescribed emergency response

6. Evacuate: Get out

7. Barricade: Lock and Block

8. COUNTER The “intruder” is typically not a highly skilled shooter
The intruder is usually unable to deviate from their plan, so any distraction can significantly impact their ability
This is the last and most unlikely option, when there is nothing else you can do
What you can do: make noise! move!
Distract. Distract, Distract!!

10. ALICE DRILLS: 11/7 From 10:15pm-11:15pm - We will hold ALICE drills.
Students will be grouped by homeroom.
We will practice one true barricade before being given any scenarios
We will then have four scenarios where we will either evacuate or barricade.
-When Barricading - Please use three designated desks during drills
-When Evacuating - Please don’t go further than 30 yards away from the School Do not sprint in the hallway Keep everyone safe.

12. We are the first responders
Past incidents last only 5-6 minutes
We must feel empowered to make decisions based on the information we have
Traditional Methods are proven to not be effective.
