Warning Signal: A horn will sound on top of the Administration Building with an alternating blast and/or a megaphone will be used by the maintenance staff stating “Everyone go into lockdown mode immediately”. A voice mail message and/or e-mail message will also be sent to all staff and students.

This warning system will be used in the event of discovered weapons, suspicious intruder, shooting, hostage situation or as the President deems appropriate.

Please follow these steps:

1. Round up all students outside the buildings or in hallways and common areas to the nearest room.

2. If students are in the dorms, have them remain in their rooms away from the windows and lock all doors to the dorms.

3. If class is in session, do not let any students leave the room.

4. Lock doors and instruct all students to sit away from windows and doors.

5. Turn off lights.

6. Lock windows and close blinds.

7. Take roll to know what students are under your supervision.

8. Keep the students calm and quiet.

9. Remain in lock down mode until the all clear sign is given. The horn will sound again and/or the maintenance staff will give the “All Clear” with megaphones and a voice mail message and/or e-mail message will be sent to all mailboxes.
