Just a reminder:
Lockdown drill today, April 23 at 1:30 p.m.

These drills are important in helping our students, faculty and staff understand the proper procedures in the unlikely event of an emergency. We recognize that, because this is a Lockdown drill, it may cause some concern. Please be assured that the drill will be conducted in a calm and controlled manner. Students will be informed in advance, and age-appropriate communication will be provided to ensure they feel safe while gaining valuable experience in how to respond to a security situation, should the need ever arise.
