Shelter in Place and Lockdown
LOCK DOWN GUIDELINES
LOCK DOWN GUIDELINES
LOCK DOWN GUIDELINES
For your safety and the safety of students, teachers, and staff, we ask that you follow these guidelines in the event of a lock down at a school site.
- Lock downs are initiated to keep students safe and to create a barrier to campus entry. Your student is safely locked in their classroom with their teacher and classmates. No one will be allowed to enter or leave the campus until the lock down is lifted.
- Stay away from the school campus if locked down. This will only create traffic and congestion around the campus which will endanger all involved and inhibit the school and police from doing their jobs.
- Do NOT call the school, a teacher, your child, or the Watsonville PD during a lock down. All phone lines must be kept open for vital communications.
- Check the Emergency Information link on every school website, which will direct you to this page. Real-time information will be posted and will remain on this page for a week following an event.
- If you have questions about lock down procedures at your school site, you can contact the school administration.
