Announcements and Reminders
Announced Hard Lock Down Drill
On Tuesday, February 14, we will practice a hard lockdown at 9:15 AM. A hard lockdown is a procedure our school would initiate if we had an imminent threat or potential danger inside our school building. Again, this is an announced practice lockdown drill.
During any type of lockdown situation, no one is allowed to enter or leave the building until authorities authorize the return to normal operations. We will have School Resource Officers on campus, and student check-ins and check-outs will resume at approximately 9:45 AM.
Deliveries to School
We would like to remind you that there are no deliveries made to the school. This is to ensure the safety of our students and staff and to minimize disruptions in the school environment. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
