On Tuesday, September 19th, we will be having a Lockdown Drill. Before then, teachers will be reviewing Lockdown procedures with students. During a lockdown drill, teachers turn off the lights, lock the door, and instruct students to stay quiet and out of sight. We always hope that we will never have a situation where we would need to do a real lockdown at our school. However, it is important for students to practice the procedures so they know what to do. We don't want students to feel scared or worry about this. Please take the opportunity to talk with your child and reassure them that they are safe at school. Also, help them understand the importance of practicing procedures so they are always prepared for any situation.

The drill will take place at 9:00 in the morning. This means that the front door and office will be locked until about 9:20. If you were planning to volunteer or check your child in/out during that time, please make adjustments as needed. If you have any questions, please contact the office before the drill.
