Safety Drills (Severe Weather/Fire/Lockdown)
Below is an explanation of the different levels of intruder protection. It is very important to note during a drill or an actual emergency our first goal is to utilize every adult to take care of our students. Therefore, answering the phone is not a priority.
National Hispanic Heritage Month
Each year we observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the contributions and importance of Hispanics and Latinos to the United States. This year’s theme is “ Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope”
The theme invites us to celebrate and reflect on how great our tomorrow can be if we hold onto our resilience and hope.
Cada año celebramos el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre celebrando las contribuciones y la importancia de los hispanos y latinos en los Estados Unidos. El tema de este año es "Esperanza: una celebración de la herencia y la esperanza hispanas"
El tema nos invita a celebrar y reflexionar sobre lo grandioso que puede ser nuestro mañana si mantenemos nuestra resiliencia y esperanza.
