Dakota Lockdown Sparks Call for More School-to-Parent Communication
In the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School and a lockdown at Dakota Tuesday, local parents say increased communication with their own schools, especially in emergency situations, wouldn't go unappreciated.
UPDATE: According to a text notification from Dakota High School Wednesday, a mail out regarding the lockdown was sent at 4:24 p.m. Tuesday. The notice was resent Wednesday after administrators learned not all parents had received it. Even after the lockdown at Dakota High School was lifted Tuesday and the initial threat deemed false, parents following the story continued to raise a common question on Patch: Why wasn't I notified? With the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School still an all too recent memory, local parents are calling for increased communication with their own schools, especially in emergency situations.
