SAFETY UPDATE: DPS uses the "I Love You Guys" Foundation's Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Posters are located in every classroom and there are 5 specific actions:
HOLD
SECURE (previously called LOCK OUT)
LOCKDOWN
EVACUATE
SHELTER
Our Emergency Operations Plan has been approved, and we have practiced bus evacuation drills as well as tornado and fire drills this year, and will soon be practicing other safety measures.
We wanted to share what each of these situations might look like at DPS and provide all parents/guardians with the information as well.
Next week, we will be practicing a HOLD drill.
