LAW ENFORCEMENT DRILL – OCTOBER 16, 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The Illinois School Safety Drill Act requires one Law Enforcement Drill is required to be conducted by all schools no later than the first 90 days of school that addresses an active threat or an active shooter within a school building.

This drill must be conducted according to the private school’s emergency and crisis response plans, conducted on days and times when students are normally present in the school building and must involve participation from all school personnel and students present at school at the time of the lockdown drill, except that administrators or school support personnel in their discretion may exempt students from the lockdown drill.

The appropriate local law enforcement agency shall observe the administration of the lockdown drill.

St. Elizabeth of the Trinity School will be conducting this drill on Thursday, October 14 around 11:00 am. We will make sure the students know it is a drill. We will be explaining to students the classroom procedure and doing a “limited practice” of our procedures.

An officer from the Chicago Police Department will be in attendance to witness the drill and offer feedback.. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kristine Hillmann, Principal
