Redwood Valley Increasing Drop Off/Pick Up Safety

Redwood Valley Middle School/High School is changing procedures to increase student safety in our parking lots outside the school building.

Beginning immediately, the following procedure will be in place:

At the beginning of the school day (from 7:45 am to 8:15 am) only school buses will be permitted to pull into the circle drive directly in front of the school. Any students being dropped off at that time will be directed to the student parking lot drop off area. (See signage below)

At the end of the school day (from 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm) only school buses will be permitted to pull into the circle drive directly in front of the school. Any students being picked up at that time will be directed to the student parking lot pick up area. (See signage below)

At other times during the day, or on non-school days, the circle drive may be used by any vehicle.

School Safety Plan Update

Students,staff and visitor safety is Redwood Area School Districts number one priority and for that reason we are moving towards a goal of enhancing our school safety plan.We are implementing a program known as ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate). This protocol allows staff and students to make decisions to enhance their safety and survival based on information they have regarding a situation involving an active shooter or intruder in our building. Currently RASD is a Lockdown only and we feel the ALICE protocol will greatly empower our staff and students. The district staff have been trained in the ALICE protocol and the students at RVHS, RVMS and Reede Gray will be all be trained in the upcoming weeks (PowerPoint and video only, no scenario based training). Please take the time to watch the videos and learn more about the ALICE protocol. If you have any questions or concerns please contact School Resource Officer, Dana Woodford at dwoodford@redwoodareaschools.com or (507) 644-8462.
