Watervliet City Schools lock out over

Friday, November 6, 1:19 pm

Earlier today, a prisoner escaped from the Watervliet City Court. Under the advisement of the Watervliet City Police Department, due to the proximity of this event to both of our schools, we implemented the district’s lock out procedures.

These procedures were implemented as extra precautions put in place to assure the health and safety of our students. These precautions included: keeping students inside for recess and physical education classes, locking the single point of entry to each building and informing staff of the situation to ensure a heightened sense of awareness throughout the buildings.

The schools were released from lock out at approximately 1:10 pm, when district officials were informed by the police department that the situation had been resolved.

We’d like to thank the Watervliet Police Department for their swift notification about this incident, which allowed us to react quickly to secure our students' safety.
