Sep 9, 201510 yr We had a lockdown today. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL"Everyone is fine, there was a problem at another building and they locked us down as a precaution, but I was never so scared.And I had no idea where my 16 year old was.
Sep 9, 201510 yr Author Yes, they sent out a phone blast to let us know it's okay. I think it was potential threat in the area/at the other building, so...Glad they did it, it's the right thing to do, but OMG. Scary.
Sep 9, 201510 yr We have had 2 lock downs in our district so far....all schools. My kids are grown but I know many teachers were texting and trying to make sure their kids were okay.
Sep 9, 201510 yr We have only experienced a bad weather lockdown with a possible tornado headed our way and that was bad enough - I can only imagine what it was like with a possible threat around the building.
Sep 9, 201510 yr Glad everything is okay! Several years ago my daughter's high school had a "come pick up your kid" post-lockdown. I would have been more nervous to find her, but in a school of 1500 she was the only blonde. It was like Where's Waldo.
Sep 10, 201510 yr Ugh Glad it is all ok!Last year we had a fire drill (unplanned) the first day of school @ 730 AM!A sensor was bad, what a way to start especially for all the frosh and new kids!!!
Sep 10, 201510 yr Scary! The only real lockdown we've had at my school is when a student was thought to be trying to flee the building when he ran out of the principal's office
Sep 10, 201510 yr Had a lockdown in the morning (as I was heading out of the door for a mandatory hearing/vision training). Someone saw a young gentlemen hop a fence near our field where students were at recess.We were locked down for 45 minutes and cops came in through our office and confronted the man.Turns out he was a parent who walks his son to school. He forget to give him something and instead of going around he hopped the fence.Sheesh!

Sep 10, 201510 yr No lock down so far but did have an unannounced fire drill thanks to the curious little guy in K. He thought we got to go home when the bell rang. Sorry kid, wrong bell!
