We recently had the opportunity to meet with Thane Hutchinson, the Principal of Mount Logan Middle School. He has been using DIR-S for the past few years and had some wonderful things to say about DIR-S, and how it has helped his school
Strong gas smell filling the cafeteria, evacuate the building.
EVACUATE alert initiated at 9:07 a.m. by Site Admin (Principal) Marlo Lassider. Location Main Building - 1st Floor 9:07 a.m. (Principal): We have a strong odor of gas that was outside but can now be smelled inside the cafeteria, so out of extreme caution we are having everybody go outside. 9:08 a.m. (Assistant Principal): I’m on my way. 9:09 a.m. (Security): This is Juliette O’Hara from security. Do you want the fire department? Your Henry Spencer, your SRO is on his way now. 9:10 a.m. (Teacher 1): I am home today, but I showed my sub how DIR-S work on my desktop before I left. 9:13 a.m. (Teacher 2): We have Burton Guster and Shaun Spencer, the volunteer parents, with us. 9:26 a.m. (Teacher 3): I checked in on the offsite button, but my students and I are on a trip. I will be monitoring here on DIR-S 9:42 a.m. (Principal): We are having all students go to Despereaux Middle School where parents will be picking up students. With such a large school and so many people in so many different places, DIR-S made this entire ordeal much more manageable than it previously might have been. Thanks to the communication medium provided by DIR-S, the situation was handled in an orderly manner, and all students, faculty, and volunteers made it home safe and responders got the gas smell taken care of.

HALL CHECK alert initiated at 8:10 a.m. by Site Admin (Principal), Elaine Benes. Location: 1st floor, office 8:10 a.m. (Dispatch): Is this a drill? 8:11 a.m. (Principal): Not a drill, looking for Frank Buffay. 8:12 a.m. (Teacher 1): He was not in class today. I was under the impression that he did not arrive at school. 8:12 a.m. (Dispatch): Do you want an incident generated? 8:12 a.m. (Principal): Yes 8:13 a.m. (Teacher 2): He is here today. I saw him leave the library as first period was starting. Shortly after this, the missing student was accounted for. While this situation was resolved in relatively short order, when there is a student unaccounted for, it can not be taken lightly. Thanks to DIR-S, teachers, and responders were able to communicate effectively to keep everyone informed and up to date on the situation.
