  • New in the 2024-25 School Year

    Communication during an emergency is vital to the safety of students, staff, and visitors at our schools. To ensure clear and concise communication during an emergency, WCSD will no longer use codes to implement emergency procedures. This change is in line with national best practices, lessons learned from national incidents, and the recommendation of the Department of Homeland Security.

    What was previously referred to in our district as a "Code Red – Lockdown" is now known as a lockdown. What was previously referred to as "Precautionary Code Yellow – Secured Campus" is a secured campus. The definition of each procedure will remain the same.

    La comunicación durante una emergencia es vital para la seguridad de los estudiantes, el personal y los visitantes en nuestras escuelas. Para asegurar una comunicación clara y concisa durante una emergencia, el WCSD ya no utilizará códigos para implementar procedimientos de emergencia. Este cambio está en línea con las mejores prácticas nacionales, las lecciones aprendidas de incidentes nacionales y la recomendación del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional.

    Lo que anteriormente se conocía en nuestro distrito como "Código Rojo – Cierre de emergencia" ahora se conoce simplemente como Cierre de emergencia. Lo que anteriormente se llamaba "Código Amarillo de Precaución – Campus Asegurado" ahora es un Campus Asegurado. La definición de cada procedimiento seguirá siendo la misma.

Comunicación de Emergencias Activas en WCSD

All WCSD schools’ staff and students practice safety measures during the school year to ensure they know how to stay safe during emergencies. When there is an emergency or crisis at or near a school the district has an active emergency communication protocol to notify affected families promptly.

WCSD Responsible Threat Reporting Video

If you see any threats against schools or students on social media, please notify the police rather than sharing the threat further on social media. This is the most effective way to stop any actual threat of danger, and prevent the spread of rumors.
