Good afternoon, Trojan Community,

South Conejos School District is currently in a SECURE status due to a bear sighting in the vicinity of the school. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we will provide additional updates as information becomes available.

If you live or are in the area near the school, please remain vigilant and use caution.

Attached to this notification is our Standard Response Protocol (SRP). We encourage you to review the protocol so that you are familiar with our emergency response procedures.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school at 719-376-7000.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of South Conejos School District.

STANDARDRESPONSE PROTOCOL® INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS Our school has adopted The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff will be training, practicing, and drilling the protocol. COMMON LANGUAGE The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. Like the Incident Command System (ICS), SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol. The premise is simple - there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. When communicating these, the action is labeled with a “Term of Art” and is then followed by a “Directive.” Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders. The SRP is based on the following actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. HOLD “In Your Classroom or Area” Students are trained to: ● Clear the hallways and remain in their area or room until the “All Clear” is announced ● Do business as usual Adults and staff are trained to: ● Close and lock the door ● Account for students and adults ● Do business as usual SECURE “Get Inside. Lock outside doors” Students are trained to: ● Return to inside of building ● Do business as usual Adults and staff are trained to: ● Bring everyone indoors ● Lock the outside doors ● Increase situational awareness ● Account for students and adults ● Do business as usual LOCKDOWN “Locks, Lights, Out of Sight” Students are trained to: ● Move away from sight ● Maintain silence ● Do not open the door Adults and staff are trained to: ● Recover students from hallway if possible ● Lock the classroom door ● Turn out the lights ● Move away from sight ● Maintain silence ● Do not open the door ● Prepare to evade or defend EVACUATE “To a Location” Students are trained to: ● Leave stuff behind if required to ● If possible, bring their phone ● Follow instructions Adults and staff are trained to: ● Bring roll sheet and Go Bag (unless instructed not to bring anything with them, dependent on reason for evacuation.) ● Lead students to Evacuation location ● Account for students and adults ● Report injuries or problems using Red Card/Green Card method. SHELTER “State Hazard and Safety Strategy” Hazards might include: ● Tornado ● Hazmat ● Earthquake ● Tsunami Safety Strategies might include: ● Evacuate to shelter area ● Seal the room ● Drop, cover and hold ● Get to high ground Students are trained in: ● Appropriate Hazards and Safety Strategies Adults and staff are trained in: ● Appropriate Hazards and Safety Strategies ● Accounting for students and adults ● Report injuries or problems using Red Card/Green Card method.
PROTOCOL® PARENT GUIDANCE In the event of a live incident, parents may have questions about their role. SECURE “Get Inside. Lock outside doors” Secure is called when there is something dangerous outside of the building. Students and staff are brought into the building and the outside doors will be locked. The school might display the Building is Secured poster on entry doors or nearby windows. Inside, it will be business as usual. SHOULD PARENTS COME TO THE SCHOOL DURING A SECURE EVENT? Probably not. Every effort is made to conduct classes as normal during a secure event. Additionally, parents may be asked to stay outside during a Secure event. WHAT IF PARENTS NEED TO PICK UP THEIR STUDENT? Depending on the situation, it may not be safe to release the student. As the situation evolves, Secure might change to a Monitored Entry and/or Controlled Release. WILL PARENTS BE NOTIFIED WHEN A SCHOOL GOES INTO SECURE? When a secure event is brief or the hazard is non-violent, like a wild animal on the playground, there may not be a need to notify parents while the Secure is in place. With longer or more dangerous events, the school should notify parents that the school has increased their security. LOCKDOWN “Locks, Lights, Out of Sight” A Lockdown is called when there is something dangerous inside of the building. Students and staff are trained to enter or remain in a room that can be locked, and maintain silence. A Lockdown is only initiated when there is an active threat inside or very close to the building. SHOULD PARENTS COME TO THE SCHOOL DURING A LOCKDOWN? The natural inclination for parents is to go to the school during a Lockdown. Understandable, but perhaps problematic. If there is a threat inside the building, law enforcement will be responding. It is unlikely that parents will be granted access to the building or even the campus. If parents are already in the school, they will be instructed to Lockdown as well. SHOULD PARENTS TEXT THEIR STUDENTS? The school recognizes the importance of communication between parents and students during a Lockdown event. Parents should be aware though, during the initial period of a Lockdown, it may not be safe for students to text their parents. As the situation resolves, students may be asked to update their parents on a regular basis. In some cases, students may be evacuated and transported off-site for a student-parent reunification. WHAT ABOUT UNANNOUNCED DRILLS? The school may conduct unscheduled drills, however it is highly discouraged to conduct one without announcing that it as a drill. That’s called an unannounced drill and can cause undue concern and stress. Parents should recognize that the school will always inform students that it is a drill during the initial announcement. It’s important to differentiate between a drill and an exercise. A drill is used to create the “Muscle Memory” associated with a practiced action. There is no simulation of an event; this is simply performing the action. An exercise simulates an actual event to test the capacity of personnel and equipment. CAN PARENTS OBSERVE OR PARTICIPATE IN THE DRILLS? The school welcomes parents who wish to observe or participate in drills.
Standard Response Protocol. INFORMACIÓN PARA PADRES Y TUTORES Nuestra escuela ha adoptado el Protocolo de Respuesta Estándar (SRP, por sus siglas en inglés) de la fundación “I Love U Guys”. Los estudiantes y el personal recibirán capacitación, practicarán y participarán en simulacros sobre el protocolo. LENGUAJE COMÚN El Protocolo de Respuesta Estándar (SRP) se basa en un enfoque que aborda todos los peligros y no casos específicos. Al igual que el Sistema de Comando de Incidentes (ICS, por sus siglas en inglés), el SRP utiliza un vocabulario común y claro, al tiempo que permite la flexibilidad en el protocolo. La premisa es simple: existen cinco acciones específicas que pueden llevarse a cabo durante un incidente. Las acciones se indicarán con una “expresión técnica” y la seguirá una “orden”. La acción la realizan los participantes activos, incluidos los estudiantes, el personal, maestros y socorristas. El SRP se basa en las siguientes acciones: permanencia, protección, cierre de emergencia, evacuación y refugio. PERMANENCIA “En el aula o área donde esté” A los estudiantes se les capacita para: • Despejar los pasillos y permanecer en el área o en el aula hasta que se anuncie que todo está bien • Continuar con las actividades normales A los adultos y al personal se les capacita para: • Cerrar y bloquear la puerta • Contar a los estudiantes y adultos • Continuar con las actividades normales PROTECCIÓN “Entrar. Cerrar las puertas exteriores con llave” A los estudiantes se les capacita para: • Entrar al edificio • Continuar con las actividades normales A los adultos y al personal se les capacita para: • Llevar a todo mundo al interior • Cerrar las puertas exteriores con llave • Ampliar la información sobre la situación • Contar a los estudiantes y adultos • Continuar con las actividades normales CIERRE DE EMERGENCIA “Cerrar con llave, apagar las luces, esconderse” A los estudiantes se les capacita para: • Ocultarse donde no se les pueda ver • Guardar silencio • No abrir la puerta A los adultos y al personal se les capacita para: • Llevar adentro a los estudiantes que estén el pasillo si es posible • Cerrar con llave la puerta del aula • Apagar las luces • Ocultarse donde no se les pueda ver • Guardar silencio • No abrir la puerta • Prepararse para escapar o defenderse EVACUACIÓN “A una ubicación” A los estudiantes se les capacita para: • Dejar sus pertenencias si es necesario • Llevarse el teléfono si es posible • Seguir las instrucciones A los adultos y al personal se les capacita para: • Llevar una sábana enrollable y una mochila de emergencia (salvo que se les indique que no lleven nada, dependiendo del motivo de la evacuación) • Dirigir a los estudiantes al lugar de evacuación • Contar a los estudiantes y adultos • Informar sobre lesiones o problemas a través del método de tarjeta roja/tarjeta verde REFUGIO “Indicar el peligro y la estrategia de seguridad” Los riesgos pueden incluir: • Tornado • Materiales peligrosos • Terremoto • Tsunami Las estrategias de seguridad pueden incluir: • Evacuar al área de refugio • Sellar el salón • Agacharse, cubrirse y permanecer en esa posición • Ir a un terreno elevado A los estudiantes se les capacita en: • Peligros y estrategias de seguridad adecuadas A los adultos y al personal se les capacita en: • Peligros y estrategias de seguridad adecuadas • Dar cuenta de los estudiantes y adultos • Informar sobre lesiones o problemas a través del método de tarjeta roja/tarjeta verde
ORIENTACIÓN PARA PADRES En caso de que se produzca un incidente real, los padres pueden tener dudas sobre su papel. PROTECCIÓN “Entrar. Cerrar las puertas exteriores con llave” La orden de protección se activa cuando hay algo peligroso fuera del edificio. Los estudiantes y el personal entrarán al edificio y las puertas exteriores se cerrarán con llave. La escuela podría exhibir el cartel que indique que el edificio está bajo protección en las puertas de entrada o en las ventanas cercanas. En el interior, se continuará con las actividades normales. ¿DEBEN ACUDIR LOS PADRES A LA ESCUELA DURANTE UNA SITUACIÓN DE PROTECCIÓN? No. Se hará todo lo posible para llevar a cabo las clases de forma normal durante una acción de protección. Además, es posible que se les pida a los padres que permanezcan afuera durante la acción de protección. ¿QUÉ PASA SI LOS PADRES NECESITAN RECOGER A SUS HIJOS? Dependiendo de la situación, quizá no sea seguro permitir la salida al estudiante. Si la situación avanza, la protección podría cambiar a una entrada monitoreada o salida controlada. ¿SE LES NOTIFICARÁ A LOS PADRES CUANDO SE PRESENTE UNA SITUACIÓN DE PROTECCIÓN EN LA ESCUELA? Si la acción que dio lugar a la protección es breve o el peligro no es violento, como la presencia de un animal salvaje en el patio de recreo, quizá no sea necesario notificar a los padres durante la protección. En las situaciones de mayor duración o peligro, la escuela debe informar a los padres que se ha incrementado la seguridad. CIERRE DE EMERGENCIA “Cerrar con llave, apagar las luces, esconderse” La orden de realizar un cierre de emergencia se activa cuando hay algo peligroso en el interior del edificio. Los estudiantes y el personal están capacitados para entrar o permanecer en un aula que pueda cerrarse con llave y guardar silencio. Se inicia un cierre de emergencia únicamente cuando existe una amenaza activa en el interior o muy cerca del edificio. ¿Deben acudir los padres a la escuela durante un cierre de emergencia? La inclinación natural de los padres es acudir a la escuela durante un cierre de emergencia. Es comprensible, pero quizá sea problemático. Si existe una amenaza dentro del edificio, las autoridades policiales intervendrán. Es poco probable que se les permita a los padres acceder al edificio o incluso al campus. Si los padres ya se encuentran en la escuela, se les darán instrucciones para que también sean parte del cierre de emergencia. ¿Deben los padres enviar mensajes de texto a sus hijos? La escuela reconoce la importancia de la comunicación entre los padres y los estudiantes durante un cierre de emergencia. Sin embargo, los padres deben saber que, durante el periodo inicial del cierre de emergencia, es posible que no sea seguro que los estudiantes envíen mensajes de texto a sus padres. A medida que se resuelva la situación, se les puede pedir a los estudiantes que informen a sus padres con regularidad. En algunos casos, es posible que se evacúe a los estudiantes y se les dirija fuera de las instalaciones para realizar una reunificación con sus padres. ¿Qué pasa con los simulacros no anunciados? La escuela puede llevar a cabo simulacros no programados. Sin embargo, no se recomienda en absoluto realizarlos sin anunciar que se trata de un simulacro. Ese tipo de simulacros no anunciados pueden provocar preocupación y estrés innecesarios. Los padres deben reconocer que la escuela siempre les informará a los estudiantes, durante el anuncio inicial, que se trata de un simulacro. Es importante conocer la diferencia entre un simulacro y un ejercicio. Se hace uso de los simulacros para crear la "memoria muscular" asociada a una acción practicada. No se trata de simular un incidente, sino simplemente de realizar la acción. En un ejercicio, se simula un incidente real para probar la capacidad del personal y el equipo. ¿Pueden los padres observar o participar en los simulacros? La escuela recibe con agrado a los padres que deseen observar o participar en los simulacros.
