Training and Preparation

In order to be as well-prepared as we can be, Spring Valley Academy does the following:

• Spring Valley Academy conducts fire, tornado, and safety drills throughout the school year.
• Spring Valley Academy executes four ALICE Drills every year (one per quarter). ALICE helps staff and students remember the steps taken during a potential on-campus event, and is indicated by a separate alarm and flashing light throughout the building. ALICE stands for:
  • A – Alert
  • L – Lockdown
  • I – Inform
  • C – Counter
  • E – Evacuate
• All full-time staff members are CPR/AED and First-aid certified.

• All staff members and volunteers undergo full background checks.
• Spring Valley Academy maintains an Emergency Operations Plan on file with the state of Ohio Department of Education.
• We work closely with and receive training from Montgomery County School Resource Officers.

• The Spring Valley Academy Safety Committee meets regularly throughout the year to review threats, procedures, and protocols.
