ALICE is a NON-SEQUENTIAL response to an emergency situation, Staff and students can choose which step should be applied based on the on-going information received.

• A = Alert: upon hearing the ALERT, make a decision to ACT based on what you are hearing and the information you are receiving via PA, texts, digital signage in the hallway, web, and school messenger.
• L = Lockdown: Based on the alert information you have received, if in the event of a clear and present danger, an intruder within close proximity to you inside the school, LOCKDOWN. The door to the room you are in should be closed and locked. Block and barricade all entrances to the room, making it harder to become a target.
• I = Inform: As much real time information will be provided to teachers, staff, and students as frequently as possible by all means possible. Use this information to make decisions as to the best option for survival. Remember to also continue to use your senses to keep yourself informed.
• C = Counter: Use simple, proactive techniques to interfere with and interrupt the actions of an active shooter, should the intruder enter your room, or you encounter one. I.E., throw books, staplers, papers, chairs, desk, anything. Scream, run in a zig-zag formation, create disruptive acts and get out of the room. Make it harder for an intruder to accomplish his or her actions through whatever disruptive actions as necessary. You must commit to your actions to ensure survivability.
• E = Evacuate: Evacuation is the best option if possible. By providing as much real-time information regarding the threat or emergency, staff and students will be able to make the best decisions regarding getting out. Evacuate to the established rally points.
