A soft lockdown keeps students and staff inside the building while normal school activities continue, while a hard lockdown involves students and staff remaining in classrooms and following safety procedures.
The district advises parents and community members not to go to a school if it has been placed on lockdown because additional traffic could interfere with law-enforcement or emergency-response efforts. Parents are advised to wait for communication from the school regarding what to do next.
