We will be conducting a lockdown drill this week. Teachers will talk with students beforehand about what to except and why we practice these important safety procedures.
We encourage you to speak with your child about the drill as well and reassure them that there is no reason to be afraid. This is simply an opportunity for students and staff to practice what to do in the event of an emergency.
Thank you for your support and partnership in helping our students feel safe and prepared.
