Hello Parents,
Our school will be conducting an unannounced lockdown drill as part of our safety procedures. Please do not be alarmed, this is only a drill, and all students, staff, and faculty are safe. If you see police vehicles outside our campus, please do not be alarmed, as they are part of the drill. Thank you for understanding.

Hola, padres de familia:
Nuestra escuela llevará a cabo un simulacro de cierre de emergencia sin previo aviso como parte de nuestros procedimientos de seguridad. Por favor, no se alarmen; esto es solo un simulacro y todos los estudiantes, el personal y los maestros están seguros. Si observan vehículos de policía fuera del plantel, no deben alarmarse, ya que forman parte del simulacro. Gracias por comprender.
