The safety and well-being of our students and staff is our number one priority in Yorkville Community Unit School District 115. Unfortunately, school violence is now a reality for which schools need to be well-prepared. District 115 employees continuously work with local first responders and experts in the emergency management field to review safety protocols and help staff members and students practice safety measures--including the district's Standard Response Protocols (SRP), “Run-Hide-Fight” safety response, and weather-related drills.
District 115 employs seven full-time security guards that rotate throughout the district on a daily basis and monitor school buildings, extracurricular activities, and sporting events. We believe that building positive and trusting relationships with our students, staff, parents, and community members is central to creating a safe and secure school environment.

Run-Hide-Fight
Safety discussions with students are age and ability appropriate. The goal of these discussions is so that all District 115 students are aware of the “Run-Hide-Fight” protocol, and older students are familiar with the classroom action plans. Teachers are provided grade-level lessons to ensure a unified message and plan is shared with students. Students in grades 7-12 also view the Introduction to “Run-Hide-Fight” video (link below).
Parents/Guardians are asked to review the following resources to help familiarize themselves with the “Run-Hide-Fight” safety protocol to help engage in school safety discussions with their children.
- Children’s Book: "Teddy is Ready" by Brad Spicer (recommended for students in kindergarten through grade 2)
- Video: Introduction to “Run-Hide-Fight”
- Documents: Grade-Level Safety Lessons (K-2, 3-6, 7-12), Tips for talking with your children about school safety
