If a person enters or threatens to enter the building for the purpose of causing physical violence either to persons or property:

Call 911 as soon as possible – explain to the dispatcher what is happening.
Be sure to give good directions to the dispatcher.
If safe, stay on the phone with the 911 dispatcher as long as possible.
Remove students and yourself from any danger, if possible.
Barricade yourself and students in a room away from the intruder.
If anyone becomes injured or needs medical attention, tell the 911 dispatcher.
