Reunifying students with parents or guardians is a critical component of emergency response, but one that is often overlooked. The Standard Reunification Method (SRM) provides school and district safety teams with proven methods to plan, practice, and achieve a successful reunification amid what can be chaotic and stressful circumstances.
The "I Love U Guys" Foundation offers training to schools, districts, departments, agencies and organizations. While there is enough material on the website to implement the programs, Foundation training may add a bit more. Please contact us for rates and availability.
The Briefings are a nationally recognized school and community safety symposium. We explore timely topics such as being prepared for small or large incidents, threat management, lessons learned from prior incidents, recovery after a traumatic experience, as well as training on the Standard Response Protocol and Standard Reunification Method.
Each event is unique offering the stories, insights, next steps and lessons learned across the entire spectrum of safety. From prevention through recovery, thought leaders, practitioners and survivors bring you effective methods for keeping schools and communities safe. Participants take away actionable insights they can implement immediately.
Our goal with The Briefings is to bring together an array of leaders, change makers, and explorers to share their knowledge and experience so we can learn from each other, make strong connections, and take away actionable insights and that help advance our collective mission of safer schools and communities.

I just want to have that normal teenage experience of being able to date, I want a boyfriend to cuddle and feel safe around, but there are no other gay guys at my school and it's just really annoying. Thankyou for coming to my Ted talk
I love shmups, have a ton of them, and have been obsessed since I was kid with games like Life Force and R-Type. I have been a member of this sub for a while and have been embarrassed to ask about the lingo some of you guys use. Is it possible you can school me on the definitions ? Like i see things like 1cc etc and while I can i assume what it means id rather have a defintiive answer for these terms.
Our district storyteller today is none other than Deputy Superintendent, Jason Cox, sharing his story about a hike through the slot canyons where a detour put a group of teachers into a perilous position. Although his story takes place outside of the school district, his story has key takeaways that can better prepare anyone living through an environmental emergency.
I went to an all-guys high school, and I sadly confess that I took part in mocking such guys as well. Our jokes, mannerisms, and impersonations were a constant announcement to the world that none of us understood manhood yet. Lurking under the mockery, though, was the knowledge that we would feel equally afraid and alone if we were the ones experiencing same-sex attractions.
Student Safety
Creating a safer school climate for our students is a priority. A critical ingredient in creating a safer school environment is classroom response to an incident at school. Weather events, fire, accidents, intruders, and other threats to student safety are scenarios that are planned and trained for by students, teachers, staff, and administration, in partnership with our first responders.
Student and Parent Reunification
Events may occur at school that requires parents to pick up their students in a controlled release. The process of controlled release is called a reunification and may be necessary due to weather, a power outage, a hazmat issue, or if a crisis occurs at the school.
Student and Parent Reunification is a protocol that makes this process more predictable and less chaotic for all involved. Because a controlled release is not a typical end-of-school day event, a reunification may occur at a different location than the school a student attends. If this location is another school, then those students may be subject to a controlled release as well.
The Car Guys model is based on the long standing and very successfulpattern of Porsche Club of America and BMW Car Club of America schools.Students supply their own cars, in good mechanical condition.Instructors ride with the students,providing direct input about the student's skills.There is also extensive classroom time.
In Bad Guys at School you can play as students and revolt against school system by completing missions, or decide to become a teacher that must maintain order despite the violence and brutality in the school.
On September 27, 2006, at Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, Colorado, 16-year-old Emily Keyes lost her life to a gunman who had entered the school and taken seven students hostage. At some point during the crisis, Emily managed to send a brief text message to her mother, Ellen, reading I love u guys. K" and one to her father, John-Michael, which said "I love you guys."
The "I Love U Guys" Foundation provides free training materials to schools, colleges, businesses and municipalities addressing how to prepare for and address emergency situations and ensure that everyone is secured and accounted for, as well as returned to where they belong at the conclusion of the emergency.
Since an emergency response doesn't end until everyone's accounted for, they've also developed their Standard Reunification Method to ensure schools can coordinate efficiently with safety teams and emergency responders to reunify students with their parents or guardians.
"We have a shared mission to protect and restore the joy of youth education and a child's safety," said Mike Skelley, National Sales Director at American Time. "Our EverAlert technology is a perfect fit for implementing what The 'I Love U Guys' Foundation provides to schools."The Standard Response Protocol is based around five different actions that can be used in an emergency: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate and Shelter. Each action is color-coded to make them easily identified.
The EverAlert system provides the ability to issue visual and audible alerts to coincide with those actions from a single platform. In a high-stress situation such as a lockdown, rather than needing to manage visual alerts through a standalone digital signage interface and provide audio information over a separate intercom or paging system, the necessary action alert can be issued over the EverAlert network throughout the school so staff can focus on getting themselves to safety, as well.
I teach high school, not middle school, but I assign understudies to all roles in large cast shows. When an eager understudy jumps into the role with gusto, some conflicts just seem to evaporate. And if the conflicts become a real problem, I've got someone to do the role.
At about 11:40 a.m.,[6] Morrison entered the school carrying a .40 S&W caliber Glock 22 pistol,[7] a Smith & Wesson .357-caliber revolver (which wasn't used during the incident), and a backpack, which he claimed contained "three pounds of C-4". A search of the backpack later recovered duct tape, handcuffs, knives, a stun gun, rope, scissors, massage oil, sex toys, and numerous rounds of ammunition, but no explosives.[1]
A sixteen-year-old student named Katrina Keller reportedly saw Morrison entering the school before the time specified by police. She stated that she had been walking past a vacant classroom and saw a man inside wearing a hooded sweatshirt, apparently angry. Keller did not report the incident to the school office.[8] Other students reported that they witnessed Morrison sitting in a yellow Jeep in the school parking lot at around 10:45 a.m., almost an hour before he entered the school. Morrison was believed to have been living in the car, camping out near Bailey.[9] Videos taken from security cameras outside show that Morrison was in his Jeep for at least 20 minutes, mingling with students as classes changed, 35 minutes before the siege began. Earlier, Morrison had spoken to a male high school student that day and "asked about the identity of a list of female students."[10]
Park County sheriff Fred Wegener (whose son was in the school building at the time of the incident)[4] informed the media that all seven girls were molested, though he did not know "how much or to what degree."[13] Lynna Long, a 15-year-old sophomore and one of the seven hostages, stated that Morrison lined the girls up facing a chalkboard and then sexually assaulted all of them;[14] Long stated that she knew that the other hostages were being molested because of "the rustling of clothes and elastic being snapped and zippers being opened and closed."[10] During the sexual assaults, Morrison reportedly held his gun to the hostages' heads and threatened to kill them if they did not cooperate.[11] According to the first hostage released, Morrison would systematically take individual hostages from the blackboard and further into the interior of the classroom before sexually assaulting them.[1]
A "code white" alert was sounded over the intercom and students were instructed to remain in their classrooms.[15] Negotiations with Morrison began with the goal of allowing the six remaining hostages in the room to be released.[6] Initially, he directly spoke to deputies in the hallway while holding one of the hostages at gunpoint,[11] but later spoke via telephone and used the student hostages as relayers between the negotiators and himself, as he did not want to speak directly with officials. After four of the six girls were released between the hours of 12:35 p.m. and 1:45 p.m.,[1] negotiators heightened the intensity of their indirect discussions with Morrison.[6] During this time, 16-year-old junior Emily Keyes, one of the two remaining hostages, managed to send her family a brief text message stating, "I love u guys"[2] in response to a text message ("R U OK?") her father, John-Michael Keyes, had sent using his cell phone after receiving word that an incident was occurring at the high school. When Keyes' father sent the message "Where are you?", he received no response.[16]
