In our newsletter this week<\/a>, we answered a pre-K parent’s concern: “Have you guys ever gone through this lock out thing before? I’m not sure how much to say or if the kids even know.”<\/p>\n

We have done lock-outs before, but they are a rare event, honestly. A lock-out<\/em> happens when there is an imminent concern outside of the school, and a lock-down<\/em> happens when there is an immediate threat outside or in the school. You’ll recall there being a lock-out in November when two high school students made a threat against the school. You’ll also recall it being misreported to WENY news as a lock-down–it was a lock-out, though, not a lock-down. It’s an important difference, because those are two very<\/em> different things.<\/p>\n

In our schools, the lock-outs are no different than any other day, except that the kids can’t play outside. No, your kids won’t know something is going on!<\/em> The doors to our school are always<\/em> locked. A lock-out just means that we can’t unlock the door for you until we get permission to do so. There’s no reason to panic or worry, seriously. I have asked my kindergartner how school went when we had those lock-outs, and she reported nothing extraordinary. She had no idea anything out of the ordinary had happened. Business (fund and learning) as usual.<\/p>\n

A lock-down is different: the children can’t play outside and have to stay in classrooms. They’ll be made aware that something is going on. We haven’t had a lock-down at our school<\/em>. But if we do, rest assured that your children are in safe hands! Remember that our friends’ and coworkers’ children are Diven Dolphins. All of your children are a part of our dolphin family, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
