REPEAT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Blue Ribbon School!
Alconbury MHS is PROUD to recognize Alconbury Elementary as a National Blue Ribbon School! Please
see details below.
School Safety Schools practice lockdown drills, the same way we practice fire drills and other safety procedures throughout the school day. Lockdown drills are a regular part of every school in DoDEA’s safety plan. “Throughout the school year, schools should have practice drills so that students and staff become familiar with the emergency procedures. By knowing the lockdown procedures, and taking the practice drills seriously, you can keep yourself and others safe” Best Practices for Campus and School Lockdown Procedures
We do not announce the date and time of our Lockdown Drills as an added safety precaution. We do work very closely with base security on our procedures. Teachers do know ahead of time and have the authority to make sure that some individual students who may become extremely anxious are aware. School Advisory Committee SAC

to take action in their local and global communities to advance progress for girls everywhere on these
pillars. To learn more about the Girl Up Program, visit GirlUp.org/impact.
