Notice of Multiple Intruder Safety Drill
Student, staff, and community safety is the foundation of a high quality learning environment in our schools. Annually we conduct various safety drills. Once a month we conduct a fire drill, in the spring we conduct a tornado drill, and as required by law we conduct at least one intruder drill. During the week of December 10, 2018 we will conduct an internal multiple intruder drill. The purpose of this drill is to evaluate our internal procedures and communication. What we learn during this internal drill will help us prepare for an interagency drill in the spring in which the community will have the opportunity to participate as well.
If you have any questions, please contact the District Office and school administration will be happy to assist you.
Thank you,
Walter Leipart
