September Drills: Check! Check!
Thank You
Thank you for your patience and support as we completed our two drills for September.
We appreciate your insight and feedback in how we can help keep you and our children as safe as possible.
We do review the calendar to try to prevent conflicts with special events, testing, etc. as much as possible before we schedule when we will hold a drill.
Please note the same two drills are practiced in October as well.
