Highview School “Bomb Threat” Drill

Parents and Guardians,

Please note that on the morning of Tuesday, October 2nd, Highview School will be holding a Bomb Threat Evacuation Drill along with Constable Dinning, the Community Liaison Officer who supports Highview school. This type of drill prepares schools for an event where a threat of an explosive device is directed at a school. During the drill, students will hear an extended ringing of the bell followed by an announcement indicating that the school will need to be evacuated. Students will calmly exit the building with their teachers and meet on the south side of Highview Park along Brucedale Avenue. Please take the time to discuss this drill with your child.

Please also note, that in the event of a real threat, Police may direct staff to evacuate to our off-site location. In situations such as these, Highview School would move all of its students to Sherwood Secondary School which has been assigned as its off-site evacuation location. (Students are not moved to Sherwood during our practice drills at any time)

Thanks,

Mr. Pellizzari and Mr. McLean
