Lockdown Drill
Today we had a lockdown drill. We do lockdown drills to practice responding to the bell signal, and what would happen should we have an actual situation where we would lockdown the campus. We schedule lockdown drills every other month at all different times and days of the week so that we have practice reacting in different areas, e.g. lunch area. Students are told that there could be a situation like a robber on the loose in the neighborhood and we would have to keep them safe. We do not discuss shootings as we think this would produce fear and anxiety.
We will always alert you when we do the drills via eblast so that you understand that it was a drill and not an actual event. It will also give you an opportunity to reinforce the importance of the drills.Thank you for your support.
Gator Run Flash Mob!
On the day of the Gator Run we will have a fun way to warm-up before we start running -- AN ALL SCHOOL FLASH MOB! Erica Tarassoff is volunteering her time to teach us some sweet dance moves. We will practice at Monday Assembly, and you can practice at home --see provided video. We will have the entire school outside on the field the Day Of Gator Run to do our first ever Silver Gate Flash Mob!
Silver Gate Disaster Expo Day
With the help of volunteer nurses and volunteer firefighters we will have a Disaster Awareness Day on December 7th. This will be an interactive, age appropriate Disaster Education day. We will have four stations that will cover Fire Safety, First Aid, Earthquakes and Disasters Kits. Every student will receive a bag donated by Silva Coast Realty.
