Did You Know?
Akron Schools Practicing School Safety
As part of the School District's Safety Plan, the Akron School participates in various drills to prepare our students and staff for any emergencies that may arise. Every month we practice one fire drill, where the alarms are sounded and students are taught the correct way to evacuate the building. We time the drill, look for ways to improve evacuation points, and allow students to adjust to hearing the alarms without the panic. In colder weather, the drill sometimes involves just discussing what students should do when the alarm sounds.
In addition to fire drills, we also practice tornado and lockdown drills twice a year. These drills are important to ensure that our students and staff stay calm in an emergency and are prepared to handle difficult situations.
Families Enjoyed Literacy Night
Akron Elementary students and parents celebrated the joy of reading at Family Literacy Night on Thursday, September 28, 2023. Students played reading games, created literacy-related crafts, and wrote stories.
Children's author Joey Wilson read one of her books and taught that anyone who can write and has a story can become an author.
The Akron Bank of Colorado donated a free book for each child.
