Westfield Public Schools and the Westfield Police Department Release Drill Dates

Westfield Public Schools continues to update our school district’s comprehensive safety
plan in conjunction with the Westfield Police and Fire Departments. A team of Westfield
Administrators and other staff members representing every level from elementary to
high school, has been working collaboratively with the Westfield Police and Fire
Departments to make sure our students, staff, and families have a current, research-
based, and educationally sound safety plan.


As part of our continued work with Westfield Police Department and our ongoing
training for students and staff, both city departments working together will conduct
lockdown drills in our schools the week of October 24-28 utilizing the enhanced
lockdown procedures known as A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and
Evacuate). If you have any questions regarding our drills please contact Mr.
Christopher Rogers, Administrator of Student Interventions and Safety for the Westfield
Public Schools at 413-572-6397.
