Jenkins Elementary School
Spring Independent School District
Spring ISD is committed to the safety of every student and staff member. Every day, we take proactive steps to help ensure our schools remain safe, secure, and welcoming places to learn and work.
Safety Measures
Clear Backpacks: All students are required to use clear or mesh backpacks.
Entrance Screening: All campuses utilize OPENGATE weapon detection systems.
To ensure clear and consistent communication during emergencies, all campuses follow the Standard Response Protocol (SRP). This nationally recognized system uses five response actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
Secure vs. Lockdown: Know the Difference
Understanding the difference between Secure and Lockdown helps families know what to expect if either response is implemented at their child's school.
A Secure is a precautionary measure used when there is a potential threat outside the school building, such as police activity in the surrounding neighborhood. During a Secure, the school secures the perimeter while instruction and other activities inside the building may continue.
A Lockdown is used when there is a threat inside the school building, such as an active attacker. During a Lockdown, students and staff immediately move to secure locations, lock doors, turn off lights, and remain out of sight until law enforcement determines it is safe. During both a Secure and a Lockdown, no one will be permitted to enter or leave the building until the all-clear has been given.
Standard Response Protocol, Secure means "Secure the Perimeter," while Lockdown means "Locks, Lights, Out of Sight."
