Tomorrow morning, October 5, 2022, St. Matthew Community will be participating in a lock down drill. In the event of an intruder we practice a "Run, Hide, Fight" procedure. In August our staff was trained by the Cedar Rapids Police Department in these procedures. Students will not practice the run and fight portion of this training but will discuss it with their teacher. Students will practice the lock down portion of the drill. Students will sit in their classroom quietly out of sight. Our police pal Officer Glen will come and help us with this drill. Our hope is that we never need this training but we want to be the most prepared we can be for this situation. Please reach out with any further questions.
