In order to ensure the safety of our students, our district requires that we practice fire drills and emergency drills on a regular basis. Our emergency procedures follow the Standard Response Protocol, developed by the “I love U Guys” foundation. Under this streamlined and efficient system, there are four types of drills: Lockout, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. One of the emergency drills will be practiced each semester. If you are in the building during one of these drills, you may be asked to practice the drill along with the rest of the staff and students.
Each Jeffco school has a BERT (Building Emergency Response Team). They are the staff members responsible for leadership roles during an emergency. Each member has completed the FEMA course and passed the assessment, received training and information in their role, and have met to discuss emergency plans for the year.
