Athletics and Extracurricular Activities The Division of Athletics and Extracurricular Activities supports programs that provide students with opportunities to develop lifelong lessons in teamwork, empathy, work ethic, resilience and the pursuit of shared goals, all grounded in the values of respect and honor. These programs promote environments where students are challenged to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially while providing opportunities to strengthen individual skills and reach their full potential. Through participation in LCPS activities, students learn how to work collaboratively as part of a team, recognizing that personal achievements are valued but ultimately serve the greater success of the group. Athletics and activities also foster the pursuit of excellence within the boundaries of good sportsmanship and conduct while promoting school spirit and community pride. Additionally, these experiences encourage a lifelong appreciation for physical fitness, wellness and empathy, helping students develop positive attitudes that empower them to make meaningful contributions to the world.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION

LCPS communicates with families and staff using all available communication methods in an emergency. For staff, this may include emails, phone calls, overhead announcements and use of the Raptor Emergency Management System. For families, this may include emails, phone calls and text messages.

Emergency Action Procedures The LCPS Safety and Security Office utilizes Department of Homeland Security best practices regarding emergency management. LCPS staff are trained to respond to a wide array of emergency situations and will implement applicable emergency action plans in support of overarching mitigation strategies. Students will follow staff directions during emergencies. If a school is in an emergency, parents or guardians listed for contact will be notified via email, and/or text or phone. If necessary, a family assistance/reunification site will be identified and communicated to parents/guardians with instructions on how to proceed. Public safety personnel may establish a perimeter and restrict all access to the school; do not respond to the school. Please be patient and stand by for further instructions. The following emergency action terminology is used throughout LCPS and may be found at www.lcps.org/safetyandsecurity. 1.

Lockdown is used to describe enhanced security measures taken to protect against potentially violent intruders who may be inside the school or on the school campus. The response 38

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION secures students and staff, usually in classrooms, to prevent access or harm to the school’s occupants. This may also involve quickly moving students and staff from unsecured locations to secure locations or outside and away from the threat. School staff will notify law enforcement through 911 and contact the LCPS Security Operations Center (SOC) when practical. 2. Secure the Building is used to prevent unauthorized entry if the potential threat is outside and near the school. An armed robbery, police foot pursuit or wild animals in the area of the school are just three examples. Outside activities are canceled and anyone outside at activation is instructed to move inside. All exterior doors are secured and staff and students are generally free to move about inside the school. All visitors and deliveries are initially turned away and dismissals would also be delayed if warranted. If appropriate, 911 will be utilized to notify public safety and the LCPS SOC will be contacted as soon as possible. 3. Shelter-in-Place procedures are used to temporarily shelter people from a hazardous outdoor atmosphere, such as weather or a chemical, biological or radiological incident. During this scenario, all exterior doors should be locked and measures should be taken to shut down outside air intake if warranted. No one can enter the school until public safety officials clear the area. If appropriate, 911 should be utilized to notify public safety and the LCPS SOC should be contacted as soon as possible. 4. Evacuate is used to describe situations where the building has become uninhabitable and must be evacuated. A fire or chemical spill are examples. During this scenario, all personnel will relocate to a predetermined location outside of the school. Once at that location, a decision will be made on a potential evacuation to a secondary location further from the source of the problem. 39

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION 5. Hold temporarily holds students and staff in place, usually in classrooms. A medical emergency in a hallway is an example of an incident that may require this action. Visitor Management Protocols All exterior doors on LCPS buildings are locked. Visitors need to approach the school’s main entrance video intercom. Visitors are to press the buzzer, show a government-issued photo ID and state the purpose of the visit. Once school staff have confirmed the reason for the visit, the visitor will be granted access to the main office, where they will sign into a computer system. All visits require scanning a government-issued photo ID and a visitor’s badge will be provided to wear during the visit. See Something, Say Something, We Will Do Something Safety and security is everyone’s responsibility. Anyone seeing or hearing something concerning must report the issue. While something may seem insignificant, when reported and pieced together with existing information, it may save lives. Concerning information should be reported to the principal or law enforcement. Reports can also be made anonymously through the Safe2Talk app, available on Google Play or the App Store. Safe2Talk is also available on every student’s Chromebook. Tips and reports submitted through the app are monitored 24/7 by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, Leesburg Police Department and school security. Information reported will be thoroughly investigated and mitigated. Security Operations Center The LCPS Security Operations Center (SOC) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year to monitor security across LCPS. School Resource Oﬃcers and School Security Oﬃcers School Resource Officers (SROs) who serve LCPS schools are sworn law enforcement officers. School Security Officers (SSOs) are LCPS employees who help support school security requirements. Officers support administrative teams by 40

EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND COMMUNICATION

cultivating an inclusive and safe environment where students and staff feel comfortable reporting concerning behaviors. SROs and SSOs also serve as trusted adults and role models within schools. Threat Assessment Teams and Crisis Management Plans Every school has multidisciplinary threat assessment teams that evaluate all potential threats as well as school-specific crisis management plans. Weather Alerts LCPS uses the Mass Notification system, radio and television announcements in addition to its website, email and textmessaging capabilities (including the voluntary Alert Loudoun 2.0 system offered by Loudoun County Government, https://www.loudoun.gov/alert) to notify families of weatherrelated closings and delays. Information about closings or delays will be listed on LCPS official platforms. Weather-related closing and delay messages are division-wide messages sent early in the morning (around 6 a.m.) or at night (before 10 p.m.) notifying parents that schools will be closed or operating on a delay due to inclement weather. More information about closings and delays is available at www.lcps.org/weather. 41

INSTRUCTION TEACHING AND LEARNING

Addressing Concerns with Schools LCPS schools welcome communication from parents. There are different ways to reach out to school staff. These tips help engage families early and successfully navigate language and cultural differences based on a family’s specific needs. • When a concern arises, it should first be addressed at the level where it occurred. Most often, reaching out to the classroom teacher or coach is the first mode of communication. • A brief email or note is appropriate for a first-time concern or question. • If the same concern arises again, consider a 10-minute phone call with a teacher or school representative (coach, counselor, etc.). • If further discussion is needed, schedule a 20-minute conference with your child’s teacher, school counselor or administrator. • If the concern needs to be escalated, the following order should be utilized: ° Principal or principal’s designee ° Elementary, middle or high school director or executive principal ° Chief of Schools ° Superintendent 44
