Staying Safe at School

Every school practices safety drills. There are four general types:  school evacuation; lockout; lockdown; and drop, cover, and hold (earthquake).  The purpose is to ensure the safety of students and staff.  Drills helps students and staff practice responding to emergency situations. This fall, Mrs. Wilkins was motivated to find a solution to provide blackout shades for our classroom doors. These windows are to be unblocked unless there is a lockdown. During a lockdown, those windows must be covered quickly. The solution was magnetic classroom door window coverings. With all the Legacy staff working together, it took about an hour to create shades for every room. Push them up when not in use and pull down when needed. They are simple and quick to operate. We hope we never need them, but they are in place to keep everyone safe.
