School Safety DRILL

Mon, 04/08/2013 - 16:34 — tehamaschools

 

An active shooter training exercise is being conducted on the Red Bluff High School campus during the morning and early afternoon today.  The following Tehama County law enforcement agencies are participating in the training:

  • Red Bluff Police Department
  • Tehama County Sheriff’s Office
  • Corning Police Department
  • Tehama County District Attorney’s Office, Bureau of Investigations
  • Tehama County Probation Department
  • Cal-Fire, Tehama County

The training is a cooperative effort between Red Bluff Union High School and the above listed law enforcement agencies.  The purpose of this exercise is to provide scenario-based training to law enforcement personnel in a simulated critical incident environment as well as to coordinate efforts with high school staff.  Exercises such as this are designed to reduce the incidents of officer-involved injury or death by instilling, enhancing, and reinforcing instinctive officer survival skills. This is accomplished by providing officers with hands-on training that exposes officers to realistic scenarios while utilizing Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (NLTA). 

The training is also intended to integrate personnel from the various law enforcement agencies within Tehama County that would likely respond to an actual active shooter or other critical incident in order to be better prepared should such an event occur in Tehama County.  Additionally, this exercise will allow RBHS staff to test some of their communication and emergency procedures.

School will not be is session and no students will be allowed on campus during this exercise.  However, teachers and other school staff will be on campus as it is an in service day.  Visitors, students and all unauthorized persons will not be permitted on the campus between 8 A.M. and 2 P.M.

The Gift of Knowledge

March 2013

Rotary DictionariesAs part of Red Bluff Rotary’s annual Dictionary Project, members from the club recently presented dictionaries to the third graders at Lincoln Street School.

“These are the first of over 900 dictionaries that we’ll be giving out this year in Tehama County,” said Larry Champion, Rotarian and Tehama County Superintendent of Schools.  “They are a wonderful resource, and one that you’ll use for years to come,” he added.  Books were distributed by fellow Rotarians Charles Allen and Will Murphy, who also spoke to the students about the importance of learning and knowing how to use resources such as dictionaries.

“Students really look forward to getting the dictionaries,” said Dana Brent who teaches at Lincoln Street School.  “Some of our students who have older siblings see the books being distributed and get especially excited when they enter third grade, knowing that they’ll be getting their very own copy sometime during the school year.”

The Dictionary Project is a collective effort of the Red Bluff Sunrise Rotary, Red Bluff Noon Rotary, Corning Rotary Clubs and the Tehama County Department of Education.  For more information, visit redbluffrotary.org.

Science Fair

“This was the best science fair yet!” - a common sentiment offered by teachers and students at the annual Don Corrie Science Fair, held at the Tehama County Department of Education on Friday, March 22. 

Over 100 students from Tehama County’s Small Schools Consortium gathered to showcase their projects, from “Gross Moldy Mold” to “Building Skyscrapers.”

While projects were being judged by the panel, students participated in math and science workshops, hands on projects and mind boggling math scenarios. They also had the opportunity to view all of the projects and do peer evaluations.

 “We received a lot of positive feedback from students, teachers and families,” said Lorna Manuel, Director of Educational Support Services.  “This event is one we all look forward to every year as we get to help students really hone their scientific exploration and presentation skills.”

Awards were presented to the three top scoring projects in both grades 4-6 and 7-8.  Students who placed in the 4-6th grade group were:  1st place – “Why Ruin Our Gelatin” by Dillion Towne & Trinity Kingwell; 2nd place – “Packing Materials” by Clyde Talley; 3rd place – “Fresh Meat” by Britini Wunsch & Jacob Alston.  Awards in the 7-8th grade group were: 1st place – “Hot or Not” by Reyn Hutton and “Paw Preference” by Shelby Devita; nd place – “Bulls Eye” by Dartagnan Kingwell & Terry Adams; 3rd place – “Wonders of Rust” by Devin Wunsch & Isaac Gonzalez and “Got pH” by Morgan Mason & Jillian Wunsch.
