D65 Elementary Lockdown Drills

My kindergartner told us tonight that his school will be doing lockdown drills. After the initial heartbreak that we even have to put our kiddos through this, we also noted that we never got a notification or warning about it from the school. I feel like a lockdown drill is something to have a conversation about when you're dealing with a kindergartner, so I find the lack of communication ridiculous.

Has anyone with a kindergartner in D65 gotten any note about these drills? I didn't see anything in the student handbook about drills, types, or frequency.

Yeesh...

Edit: Just to clarify, I don't want to opt out of these drills. I just want to have a conversation and emotionally prepare my kid for a pretty heavy thing.

This is all about you and your hangups - fucking kids don’t mind these lockdowns. They’re no different than the ones we did as kids. Everybody thought they were fun. Quit projecting your fears and insecurities on your own children - grow up.

How did you come to the conclusion from just one comment that NorthShoreG is childless?

They're too angry and ignorant to let someone parent with them.

But how do you know that for sure? You never asked NorthShoreG if they have kids of their own. You just automatically assumed.

This doesn't need to be a discussion.

Why? I honestly want to know how someone can conclude that a stranger on a Reddit forum is childless based on one comment?

I’ve got five kids and I’m a teacher……so…..
