Secure School Information – Fire Drill

Dear families:

Every year, school communities are required to engage in a number of Secure Schools drills to ensure all students and staff understand how to participate in the case of an emergency situation.  These drills include:  6 fire drills (3 in the fall, 3 in the spring), 1 hold and secure drill, 1 shelter in place drill, 2 lockdown drills and 1 bomb threat drill.

Please do not be alarmed if your child tells you that the alarm went off at school. This is all part of our Emergency Plan of Action. Our first fire drill for the spring term will take place on Tuesday, June 3rd.
