SUSSEX CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
Pre Lockdown Drill Notification
September 11, 2024
Dear Tiger Parents/Guardians,
Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for all of us. We have a crisis management and emergency preparedness plan for our school that is reviewed and updated regularly. Our plan includes procedures on how to respond to incidents such as fires and tornadoes. Students and staff regularly practice these drills every school year. We also practice lockdown drills.
A Virginia Law (22.1-137.2) requires schools to have a lockdown drill in the first 20 days of school and notify parents at least 24 hours before a school practices that drill. However, we are not required to share the exact date and time of the drill. We are also required to practice lockdown drills two additional times during the school year.
Keeping our school safe and secure for all students and staff involves the participation of the entire school community, and we thank you for your help in keeping our school safe.
With Tiger Pride!
Drexel W. Pierce, Jr., Ed.S.
Principal
