Staff and students: We posted a link to the Active Shooter Protocol a few weeks ago, but in case you didn’t have a chance to click on the link, here is a more in-depth version of our Active Shooter Protocol:
Active Shooter Protocol
Assumption: The presence of an active shooter on campus
Emergency Classification: 1
Primary Incident Commander: VP of Student Life or Director of Security
Persons/Agencies Involved:
INITIAL RESPONSE:
1. If you are involved in a situation where someone has entered the area and started shooting, the following are a list of recommended actions: RUN
a. Exit the building immediately, leave your belongings behind
b. Notify anyone you may encounter to exit the building immediately
c. Notify the police by calling 911
d. Give the 911 operator the following information:
2. If you are directly involved and exiting the building is not possible, the following actions are recommended: HIDE
a. Go to the nearest room or office
b. Close the door, lock if possible
c. Cover or blockade the door/ windows and shut off lights if time allows
d. Keep quiet, silence cell phones, spread out, and act as if no one is in the room
e. DO NOT answer the door
f. Notify the police by calling 911
g. Give the 911 operator the following information:
3. As a last resort: FIGHT
If you are trapped and an active shooter enters your area you will need to protect yourself and others. Take action immediately!
NOTE: As a campus with unarmed officers our directive to the officers is to immediately contact the police and then help to evacuate any personnel from the immediate area IF they can do so without becoming a target or making others a target. One officer will contact the student life office to begin the notification procedure which initiates the emergency notification system and procedures outlined previously in this document. When the Newberg Police Department arrives we turn the command over to them and then assist in any way possible, as we know the layout of the campus and are able to access facilities.

For example, you can talk about hopes for the future; the present; the past; Likewise, fears of the future; the present; the past. The theme could also branch out to successes, failures, culture, family, religion, friendship, adulthood, youth hood, etc. It could be a combination of both.
