“September is National Emergency Preparedness Month! 🏫💙

At Tri-County, keeping our students and staff safe is a priority every day. During an emergency, every second, and every word, matters. That’s why this year we are implementing the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) from the I Love U Guys Foundation.

SRP gives our students, staff, families, and first responders five clear, consistent actions to use during different situations:

🟣 HOLD – In Your Room or Area
🔵 SECURE – Get Inside. Lock Outside Doors.
🔴 LOCKDOWN – Locks, Lights, Out of Sight.
🟢 EVACUATE – To a Location
🟠 SHELTER – Using a Strategy for Safety

Last week, Principal Englund visited every classroom, Pre-K through 12th grade, to introduce students to the Standard Response Protocol and talk through what each of these five actions means. Students had the opportunity to learn the new language, ask questions, and talk about what they should do in different situations.

Throughout the school year, we’ll continue practicing these actions through our regular safety drills so our students and staff know what to do when it matters most.”
