Woodlake Elementary School conducted a practice LOCKDOWN Drill today. LOCKDOWN drills are conducted to ensure students and staff practice the Standard Response Protocols and know how to respond should a LOCKDOWN occur at our school.

Our students and staff did a VICTORIOUS job during the drill, and we will debrief with our local first responders to continue to identify any areas for improvement. Thank you for your continued support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPr9gS39Amw

Thank you for everything you do to keep us Viking Strong!

As we maintain our focus on campus safety and security, we wanted to inform you that we will be conducting a practice LOCKDOWN DRILL during the week of Feb. 17-Feb. 20. We want to ensure that all students, staff, and visitors are prepared in the event of any emergency, including what actions should be taken during a LOCKDOWN. Practice of emergency procedures through drills and training can reduce confusion.

We will not be conducting any live scenarios during our LOCKDOWN drill, meaning there will be no loud simulations, blank rounds, or explosive sounds.

“DRILL IN PROGRESS” signage will be posted at the front entrance to the school building.

NO VISITORS WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER OR EXIT THE BUILDING DURING THE DURATION OF THE LOCKDOWN DRILL.

We invite you to review the I Love U Guys Standard Response Protocols on our district's safety and security website http://www.judsonisd.org/safetyandsecurity. Thank you for your continued support.
