Dear Parent or Guardian,
We are committed to creating the safest possible environment for our students and staff to learn, work, and grow. In response to the direction of our District Strategic Plan and stakeholder input from our most recent surveys, we would like to share with our community some important information and updates regarding safety measures at our schools.
Previously, our approach to confronting potential threats within our schools relied on a lockdown response. This method has been deemed insufficient by the Department of Education, independent researchers, and law enforcement. Through the direction and support of our Camp Verde Marshall’s Office, we are introducing the ALICE options-based safety strategy. ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate, is widely recognized as one of the most effective safety response strategies in schools nationwide. Not only does ALICE empower individuals to take an active role in their own survival, but it also ensures compliance with federally recommended guidelines.
CVUSD staff are currently undergoing training in ALICE protocols. This training will be ongoing as we strive to implement these strategies in ways that are appropriate for different age groups and abilities.
As stakeholders in our community and representatives of our students we would like to make you aware of this process and its implementation. We encourage you to explore more about the ALICE strategies through the following link: ALICE Training Information
As our staff becomes proficient in these strategies, we will also be educating your students about the ALICE protocols. We understand that discussions around safety can sometimes be challenging for students. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you feel your student may require specific support during these trainings, please reach out to your student’s teacher or administrator.
Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring the safety and well-being of our school community.
Sincerely,
Steve Hicks
