An Important Message from the Administration
Hello Highlander Families:
On Monday, May 23, Hewes Middle School will participate in a comprehensive disaster and evacuation drill. This drill is being conducted in preparation for comprehensive disaster and evacuation drills that will take place in conjunction with the annual Great Shake Out from this point forward.
Students will attend all seven classes in a modified schedule. After lunch, all students and teachers will evacuate and a search and rescue will take place. After the search and rescue, students will move to the activity center for reunification with parents/guardians. If possible, parents are invited to pick students up as early as 1:40 PM. Any students who do not get picked up early will be released at the end of the school day at 2:40 PM.
Reunification Station:
- Students will be reunited with parents at the Activity Center
- Any parent/guardian in Aeries Contacts may retrieve the student/s
- The line to pick up students will start at the Activity Center and will go south along Hewes Ave. toward Foothill - the line will follow Foothill Ave. if needed
Action Items for Parents:
- Check Aeries to ensure emergency contacts are current and up to date
- Make arrangements to have your student/s picked up between 1:40 and 2:40 PM
- Be patient with the Reunification process as it takes time to get students signed out
- Ensure students bring hats, sunblock, and an extra bottle of water on Monday, May 23
Sincerely,
Sahra Tanikawa and Troy Fresch
