What do HOLD, SECURE, LOCKDOWN, EVACUATE, and SHELTER mean in schools?

Beginning this school year, Wicomico County Public Schools will use the nationally recognized Standard Response Protocol (SRP), to provide clear instructions for students, staff and families during emergencies.

What You Should Know:
- Standard Response Protocol uses clear language for emergency situations
- SRP helps improve communication among schools, families, students, staff and first responders
- Students and staff will practice and learn the five response actions during the school year

Parents are encouraged to learn more about Standard Response Protocol by visiting https://www.wicomicoschools.org/o/wcps/page/safe-schools
