Westfield Public Schools and the Westfield Police Department Release Drill Dates

WESTFIELD – Westfield Public Schools continues to update the school district’s comprehensive safety plan in conjunction with the Westfield Police and Fire Departments. The district’s plan aligns with the recommendations from the Governor’s Office.

A team of Westfield Administrators representing every level, from elementary to high school, has been working collaboratively with the Westfield Police and Fire Departments to make sure our students, staff, and families have a current, research-based, and educationally sound safety plan.

As part of the School Department’s continued work with Westfield Police Department and their ongoing training for students and staff, both city departments working together will conduct lock-down drills in city schools the week of March 19-23 utilizing the enhanced lock-down procedures known as A.L.I.C.E.  (Alert, Lock-down, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate).

If you have any questions regarding the drills please contact Mr. Christopher Rogers, Administrator of Student Interventions for the Westfield Public Schools at 413-572-6397.
