Evacuation Drill
Table Talk - This is a good time for you to talk at dinner about how and where you would evacuate in the event of a similar incident at home.
Early Pick Up
If circumstances require an early pick up, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- During lunch, students do not have access to the classroom. If you will be picking up at lunch, please be sure that your child has his/her backpack outside the classroom and ready to go.
- During lunch and recess, it can be challenging to locate a student. Although we use the PA system to make an announcement, students are usually so busy with their activities that they do not hear the request to come to the office. Make sure that your child is aware of any pick ups that may occur during a break.
- Allow plenty of time to pick up your child. It's not uncommon for students to be in places other than the classroom, such as the MakerSpace, Library, field, or other places on campus. In this situation, it can take a few minutes to communicate with the teacher, in addition to the time needed to pick up their backpacks. Thank you for your patience.
