Understanding ALICE: School Safety Measures
ALICE is a proactive approach to school safety that empowers individuals to respond effectively in a crisis. It focuses on Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate strategies. ALICE emphasizes common-sense decision-making, providing tools for teachers, and empowering everyone to make choices based on the situation. The training involves drills to practice barricading, evacuating, and distracting intruders, with a focus on safety protocols and clear instructions for students and staff.

School Safety Discussion - ALICE Parent Presentation
Does anyone know when the last time someone died in a school fire?
12/1/1958 Why so long ago?
ALICE: A Alert All are authorized to announce No codes are used L Lockdown Including barricade I Inform Use technology to provide updates on information C Counter Interrupt the intruder s plan As a last resort only E Evacuate Leave the building if safe to do so
What ALICE is and is not What ALICE is: What ALICE is not: Common sense approach to a situation A sequential set of actions A prescribed emergency response Tools for teachers to use Options based on the situation Empowering all to make choices A set of life-skills for all situations
COUNTER COUNTER The intruder is typically not a highly skilled shooter The intruder is usually unable to deviate from their plan, so any distraction can significantly impact their ability This is the last and most unlikely option, when there is nothing else you can do What you can do: make noise! move! Distract. Distract, Distract!!
From 10:15pm-11:15pm - We will hold ALICE drills. ALICE DRILLS: 11/7 Students will be grouped by homeroom. We will practice one true barricade before being given any scenarios We will then have four scenarios where we will either evacuate or barricade. -When Barricading - Please use three designated desks during drills -When Evacuating - Please don t go further than 30 yards away from the School ----- -- Do not sprint in the hallway ------- Keep everyone safe.
We are the first responders Past incidents last only 5-6 minutes We must feel empowered to make decisions based on the information we have Traditional Methods are proven to not be effective.
