SCHOOL SAFETY DRILLS at Eagles
We have a variety of drills during the school year; fire, tornado, Haz Mat and lockdown. We are required to perform a certain number of these drills each school year.
The first set of drills are announced to teachers and students and the others may not be announced to allow students the ability to practice. You will not be notified of drills when they happen, however your student may share information with you.
In addition to these drills, teachers practice clearing their classrooms in case of a medical emergency or student safety situation. If a teacher asks the students to move from the room, instruction continues in another area of the building until they can go back into the classroom .
LOCKDOWN DRILLS:
· Fargo Public Schools are required by the government to practice three lockdown drills per year along with other drills (tornado, fire, etc).
· During a lockdown, students get direction from their teacher to hide in an identified location. All doors are locked and the lights are turned off.
· Teachers/staff will talk with students about what actions they would take if there was a threat. We follow the RUN, HIDE, FIGHT protocol.
· We practice this type of drill to prepare students and to keep your child safe in the event of an emergency. By practicing these drills, we will increase the likelihood of students and staff responding appropriately in the event of an emergency.
New for this year is HALLWAY CLOSURE: The hallway closure will be announced to the school when/if situations warrant the privacy of students or staff in medical situations, drug dogs being in the building, behavior incidents or any situation where we would want to keep students and staff out of the hallway for a specific amount of time.
If you have any questions about drills, please feel free to call Mrs. Lingle at 446-3900.

Welcome back! We are so excited to have the students back and to see them in the library once again! Students visit the Eagles Library once a week for skills lessons and book checkout. The day for your student’s library based on grade level is:
Kindergarten – Fridays
1st Grade – Thursdays
2nd Grade – Mondays
3rd Grade – Tuesdays
4th Grade – Wednesdays

Students come to the library to learn about different kinds of books, genres, how to use the library to find books, research skills, technology skills, coding, and of course to develop a lifelong love of reading! We are excited to be back and looking forward to a wonderful year! Our first book fair will be held October 9th – 15th during Fall Conferences so mark your calendars!
