Lots of Positive Feedback on the Survey

Adults could be seen in some rooms where there were no students (everyone needs to be in a safe spot)

One room answered the door One door unlocked Talking in a room immediately after

unlocking: stay put and stay quiet until all clear over PA

LOCK DOWN Drill

When the door was opened the person did not ask for the code word or anything just said sit tight for now.

Follow-up with an unannounced drill. It is very hard in my classroom to have all

the students fit in the back corner of the room. The gentleman who opened the door made a comment about it. Is there any other place we can fit a few students? It's only going to get harder to squeeze in the corner with class sizes growing.

Streamline the checks so it doesn't take all period.

What needs improvement?
