Dear CLA Families,
We hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this week (while it lasted!). The students all loved being back on the playground without coats, hats, and gloves. This week we also held some of our Spring Safety Drills.
On Tuesday our students did a great job participating in the scheduled Fire Drill that was supervised by members of the Rolling Meadows Fire Department. Then on Wednesday, we had a false fire alarm event in the morning. After the Rolling Meadows Fire Department determined the building was safe for our students and staff, we returned to the building. In both situations our students and staff did a great job!
On Thursday, the students in the PM session participated in a Hard Lockdown Drill that was supervised by members of the Rolling Meadows Police Department. Our students and staff quickly secured themselves in their classrooms and lockdown locations. The Police Department was very proud of how well our students did during the drill.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to conduct our Shelter in Place Drill (Tornado Drill) as scheduled today. It has been rescheduled for Wednesday 4/19.
I received a few questions from families regarding our building and district safety procedures during and after the different emergency situations and what would happen if there was a real situation. If any of the situations were to occur and we required parents to come to CLA to pick up their child, our reunification location is at St. Colette Church (located directly behind or north of CLA). At Monday’s PTA meeting, I will be taking some time to discuss our district’s safety procedures and the specific procedures at CLA. If you have any questions, we hope you can join us. If you are not able to attend and you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
We also want to remind all of our CLA Families that we will be hosting our April PTA meeting on Monday at 6:30pm. We welcome families to join us in person or virtually. We will send a reminder and link to join on Monday. If you have not signed up as a member, that’s OK! You are still welcome to attend the meeting.

We hope everyone has a great weekend and we will see everyone back on Monday. ALL CLA students have school on Monday 4/17.
