Unity Schools Crisis Preparation Drills
Unity High School and Middle School ran an "active shooter" drill and a lock down drill as required by law this morning (10.17.19). These drills were done in conjunction with the Adams County Sheriff’s officers.
Unity Elementary only practiced a Lock Down and did not go through the "active shooter" scenario.
All the faculty, staff, and students did an excellent job during the exercises this morning. These drills are taken very seriously by all that are involved and can at times be traumatic for some individuals. As part of the exercises all students were brought together at the end of the drills and a discussion was held with the law enforcement officers and administration. Following the whole group discussion individual classroom teachers also discussed the drills with their students answering any questions they may still have had.
We encourage you to take time to discuss today's drills with your child.
The purpose of the drill was to test our alert systems and to familiarize CUSD #4 faculty, staff, and students with the “run, hide, fight” procedures that is used during an active shooter incident. If you have a middle school or high school student please take time to discuss this with them so they have a plan set in the event they would need to “run” from the school in a REAL situation.
Again, today was just a drill.
We want to share that we had one minor accident with one of our teachers injuring her foot. She is expected to be alright but is being looked at to be sure.
This is part of Unity schools being proactive and prepared. Our goal is to provide the safest and most enjoyable atmosphere for your child to learn. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your building principal or Superintendent Scott Riddle.
We thank you for your continued support.

CUSD 4 Time Off Policy
Unit 4 schools have implemented a new Student Time Off Policy that is in effect. The policy has two main aspects: Sundays off, and summer dead weeks.
There will be no student activities on campus on Sundays. There may be a few exceptions in the future (pending administrative approval), but in general Sundays will be set aside for students and staff to spend time with their families. The district has also determined to set aside weeks around the 4th of July and the Adams County Fair as time off.
2019 Board Policy Time Off Weeks: July 1-5, 2019 and July 22-26, 2019
