Providing a safe and secure learning environment for students is of great importance in the School District of Holmen. The district has numerous practices, procedures and protocols in place each day to ensure a safe learning environment. The district has adopted the safety protocol called ALICE. ALICE is a protocol which enhances our previous lockdown procedures. The Wisconsin School Safety Coordinators Association, the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other educational leadership and governmental agencies have recommended that school districts develop a protocol that provides options to students and staff when facing threat or harm from an intruder.
ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. ALICE empowers staff to exercise options in the event of such an incident, based on real-time information gathered during the incident. This enhanced protocol does not dictate to staff or students how they should react, but instead provides options for action in addition to the traditional lockdown.
On this page, you will find the training videos provided for students, as well as information for parents to help process with their children. Should you have any questions, you are encouraged to contact the Pupil Services Coordinator, or the ALICE trainer for your child's school, using the contact information below.
