Next Thursday, September 8, from 6:00 - 7:30 is Back to School Night. Details are outlined below and we hope you can join us to learn more about your child's day along with what they will be learning this school year.

Emergency Drill Notice
MASD schools practice secure in place and/or lockdown procedures when conducting a security drill. Schools are required to conduct one emergency drill within the first 90 calendar days of the school year in place of a fire drill and a second security drill during the second semester.
Broad Street Elementary will be conducting emergency drills following these guidelines throughout the year. If you have specific questions about these drills, please consult the student handbook.
