The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) uses five simple actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. Regular drills help students and staff become familiar with these responses so they know what to do in a variety of situations.
Practicing SRP drills helps:
✅ Build confidence and preparedness
✅ Reduce confusion during emergencies
✅ Reinforce safety procedures and expectations
✅ Improve communication and response times
✅ Create a safer learning environment for everyone
Just like fire drills prepare us for a fire, SRP drills help ensure students and staff can respond calmly and appropriately when needed. Our goal is not to create fear, but to promote readiness, awareness, and safety.
#TheTimeIsNow
The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) teaches five actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter, so students and staff know how to respond safely in different situations. These drills build confidence, improve communication, and help keep our schools safe. Together, we prepare today for a safer tomorrow. If you have any questions about the SRP, please contact the campus front office.
