We just concluded a non-emergency lockdown at Uxbridge High School, ending at about 10:40 a.m. We called the lockdown in order to provide some confidentiality for an individual who needed to be transported via ambulance due to a medical emergency. Whether making the decision to transport via ambulance for a teacher, student, staff member, or parent, we take the responsibility of maintaining confidentiality extremely seriously, so clearing hallways and eliminating witnesses protects everyone involved.
As we expected, our students were incredibly compliant and respectful of direction, particularly since the lockdown occurred right before lunch and impacted cafeteria service. Once again, we had an opportunity to see how our community models so many of our core values!
We reiterate that there was no threat of any kind, which can sometimes be misconstrued when people hear the word "lockdown." Thank you, and enjoy the rest of the day.
