Dear Families, 

This March we will be conducting a second round of safety drills for all students PreK-12. Similar to how students practice evacuating the school buildings in case of fire, these announced (meaning we will tell students when the drill is happening and that it is a practice/drill) safety drills are an opportunity to practice and prepare for various situations, which includes staying in place, locking down, and evacuating. This past fall all students engaged in lessons around what to do for each of these scenarios.  For more information about the lessons and drills click on the link to the SAFETY SMORE from October.

If you choose to opt your child out of the safety drill, we kindly request that you complete the alternative activity form by February 24th. This will ensure that appropriate arrangements are made to accommodate your child's exemption from the safety drills. Those students who opt out of the drill will engage in an individual lesson about safety. 

Sincerely,

Department of Health and Wellness & Department of Safety and Security
