WELCOME TO PROGRESO EARLY CHILDHOOD

Progreso I.S.D. understands that if an emergency occurs at one of our campuses or office buildings, there usually is not much time to warn students, employees and guests about what is happening or what to do. That is why the Progreso Independent School District has implemented the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) at all of its facilities and campuses. District staff and administrators are all being trained in the SRP, as will students through frequent drills.

The SRP is not based on individual scenarios, but rather on the response to any given scenario. One large benefit of the SRP is the standard language used by all responders; this includes students, parents, staff and first responders. The protocol also allows for a predictable series of actions as an event unfolds. The SRP is based upon four actions: Lockout, Lockdown, Evacuate and Shelter. Each has specific staff and student directives that are unique to the action.

Hold is followed by the Directive: "In Your Room or Area" and is the protocol used when hallways need to be kept clear of occupants.

Secure - Get Inside. Lock Outside Doors Secure is followed by the Directive: "Get Inside. Lock Outside Doors" and is the protocol used to safeguard people within the building.

Lockdown - Locks, Lights, Out of Sight Lockdown is followed by "Locks, Lights, Out of Sight" and is the protocol used to secure individual rooms and keep occupants quiet and in place.

Evacuate - to a stated location Evacuate may be followed by a location, and is used to move people from one location to a different location in or out of the building.

Shelter - State the hazard and the safety strategy Shelter and state the Hazard and Safety Strategy for group and self protection.

We as a district believe this newly introduced protocol will help provide a safe learning and working environment for all students and staff.
