Lenape Regional High School District

Dear Parents/Guardians: 

The start of a new school year is an opportune time to share with you some of the steps the Lenape Regional High School District (LRHSD) takes to ensure the security and safety of our students, which is of the highest priority at all times. 

Notification System 

We will perform a test alert via email and SMS text message.  The alert will be performed using the guardian contact information we currently have on file in our Genesis Information System.

You should receive these test alerts on Friday, September 15th.

If you need any changes made to your contact information, you can contact your student's guidance counselor. 

Drills 

The New Jersey Department of Education requires that schools conduct one fire drill and one security drill each month students are present. Drills are conducted without prior notification to parents, students and staff. Security drills vary, but must include the following drills over the course of the school year:

  • 2 evacuation drills
  • 2 bomb threats
  • 2 lockdowns
  • 2 active shooter lockdowns
  • 2 miscellaneous drills (table-top exercises) 

Notification Process 

In the event of a real incident, timely and accurate communication with parents and guardians is essential.  The Lenape Regional High School District utilizes the following notification methods. 

  • Email
  • Text Message
  • School and district websites
  • LDTV
  • X (Formerly Twitter): @LRHSDstatus 

Parents and Guardians will be notified by the end of the day when a School Security Drill was conducted.

The goal of the Lenape Regional High School District is to provide timely and accurate communication during school emergencies.  Numerous agencies at the local, county and state levels collaborate during these situations to 1) ensure the safety of our students and staff and 2) provide information as quickly as possible to families and the community. 

Our first priority is always the safety of our students and staff, directly followed by accurate communication to families. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child’s school.

Sincerely,
Carol L. Birnbohm, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
