Dear Parents, October 9th, 2019
During P.E. classes on Thursday, October 17th Sgt. Lamendola from the Dixon Police Department will be giving the annual presentation on school safety in the event of an intruder or similar emergency to Madison students. Sgt. Lamendola, using the ALICE training model, will be speaking to students at all our schools once again this year on this important topic. ALICE, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate is considered best practice within the law enforcement community for schools responding to a potential threat. Presentations are specifically tailored to the ages and developmental needs of the students with elementary school presentations geared towards listening to teachers and basic safety in an emergency. If you have any questions about the specific content of the presentation, you may contact Sgt. Lamendola at jjlamendola@dixonpd.com. If you are interested in opting your child out of the presentation, please contact your school office. More information about ALICE training may be found at http://www.alicetraining.com/.
Thank you.
Joey Sagel
Principal, Madison School
