Dear Webb Community, I wanted to update you on the reason for the lockdown at 11:51 a.m. at Webb Elementary School. We placed the school on lockdown because a panel of glass in the back of the school near the playground cracked but did not shatter and we didn鈥檛 know why.
Once it was determined there was no threat to the campus, we began releasing classrooms from lockdown at 12:15 p.m. and lifted the lockdown at 12:27. The Arlington Police Department and district security investigated why the glass cracked and determined it was already broken and just cracked today.
We know that a lockdown is scary for students, families and staff. As a reminder, all our staff are trained on what to do during a lockdown, and students participate in regular drills. Everyone on campus did an outstanding job following the protocols today. We know this doesn鈥檛 remove the fear, but it means they know what to do in an emergency.
When a lockdown happens, we ask families not to come to campus, and we want to share more about why we ask that of you.
1. Police are investigating and ask the public to stay away from the campus so they don鈥檛 impede their investigation.
2. The campus will not be accessible to anyone outside of the building during a lockdown.
3. Extra traffic in the area creates congestion, making it more difficult for emergency responders to operate.
During a lockdown, staff members won鈥檛 answer the phones because they are following proper lockdown protocols. With that said, we know you鈥檙e worried and we鈥檒l do our best to keep you informed by email, text messages, the campus Facebook page, the Security Tracker and the 色窝窝无码一区二区三区 app. These will have the same information so you can choose which works best for you. We encourage you to visit our Safety Page to learn more about our response plans.
Our counseling team provided these five tips to help you talk to your children about the lockdown today:
1. Create a safe environment that allows children to express their feelings.
2. Encourage open communication where children can talk about their experiences and emotions. Be a good listener without pressuring them to share more than they鈥檙e comfortable with.
3. Use honest, age-appropriate and simple language. Avoid unnecessary, overwhelming details, but be truthful in addressing their concerns.
4. Validate their emotions by letting them know it鈥檚 okay to feel a range of emotions and that their reactions are normal.
5. Maintain routine and stability, which can be reassuring for children.
We appreciate your patience today and thank you for working with us to keep all students and staff at Webb Elementary School safe.
Sincerely, Evelyn Navarro-Gaspar, Principal ... See MoreSee Less
