Cool Tool Lesson
Army Trail has a school-wide time we use to teach Cool Tools and our Second Step Lessons. During September, our focus is on Emergencies.
- Fire Drills
- Building Evacuations
- Lockdowns
- Severe Weather
Illinois Law requires that we notify parents of any Lockdown or Intruder drills. The law also gives parents the ability to opt-out of the drills. On September 7, we will have a Cool Tool Lesson on our procedures for Lockdowns, followed by a Lock and Stay Drill on September 8, and Lock Down utilizing our Bluepoint system on September 9.
If you do not wish to have your student(s) participate, you must notify the Army Trail Office no later than Tuesday, September 6 at 3:30 PM.
