Dear RAPCS Families:
On Friday, January 23, 2026 at 9:45 AM, our school will be conducting a lockdown (secure in place) drill in accordance with school policy and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania guidelines. During the drill, students and staff will be required to follow Richard Allen Preparatory Charter School secure in place safety protocols, which include remaining within the nearest classroom or office space, staying out of sight from windows, and maintaining silence until the all clear message is communicated by administration. Additionally, during this brief drill, our school’s doors will remain closed to all visitors (with the exception of authorized personnel) and main office reception will be temporarily unavailable.
We are sharing this information in advance to ensure families are prepared and aware of this upcoming drill, and to prevent any unnecessary concern if students mention a drill taking place. While we hope to never experience a true emergency, we understand that regular practice and continued conversation will ensure all members of the RAPCS community remain prepared, safe, calm, and aware.
Families, we appreciate your continued support, cooperation, and understanding.
If you have any questions, please contact us. We are here to help and serve you:
