What are the different types of protocols Cascade uses in different situations?

Hello Cascade Community,

Last week's events brought safety to the forefront of everyone's mind. Today, we want to share with you again information on our Standard Response Protocol at Cascade. These five actions are posted all over our schools. We practice them with students and staff all year long. As parents and guardians, being aware of this information helps you know the different types of protocols we might put in place.

The video above and the attached flyer show you that we have 4 other protocols in addition to Lockdown, which is our most severe response. We want to remind again that last Friday, we were not placed in Lockdown, but rather were in Secure Hold. Bringing students inside from the buses to a secure location was exactly the response dictated by the Secure Hold protocol.

We encourage parents to review this material yourself, and consider talking with your student about the different actions, and what they know and have practiced in school already.

Thanks for working together with us as we all strive to keep students and staff safe!
