Tomorrow morning, we will be conducting a lockdown drill. This drill provides students with the opportunity to practice important safety procedures while also meeting our monthly safety drill requirement. Since this is the first drill of the year, we want to provide families with advance notice to help reduce concerns. Teachers will remind students that this is only practice and walk through the steps together in a calm and supportive way. Our goal is to help students feel comfortable and prepared. Please feel free to discuss this with your child in advance.
