We will notify parents through text alerts in a crisis, which is why we stress the importance of making sure the test text on the 10th of each month works on your phone. We cannot promise it will work 100% of the time, but that will be our direct line of communication with you. If there are issues, please email quicknews@nixaschools.net.
- If a security event happens at a school, we will use one of the following procedures:
- Secure: this means that the outside of the building is secure but things inside are happening normally or as close to normal as possible. But, people are not allowed in or out of the building.
- Lockdown: this means that there is an immediate threat to the building. Those in the building will be instructed to lock doors, get out of sight, and be prepared to react.
If something happens at a building, we will update parents/guardians on where they need to go and what they need to do as soon as we can. We may have to clear a building room by room, and we may need to move students to a secure location in order to reunite them with you. Please follow these instructions so we can all work together.
