Earthquake Drill

In order to maintain a safe environment for our children to study and learn, it is necessary that we practice our emergency drills each month. Today our school conducted an earthquake drill as part of our ongoing effort to promote the safety of our students and staff.  An announcement was made over the intercom and students and staff were instructed to drop, cover and hold. Following the drill, we practiced evacuating the building. We are so proud of your children for taking these drills seriously and practicing in their classrooms. By practicing often, children will develop muscle memory for what to do in the event of an emergency. 

If this had been a real emergency requiring reunification of students and parents the reunification process on or off campus would require the following:  

1. Students will only be released to parents or individuals listed on a student’s emergency card.  

2. Parents or individuals listed on the student’s emergency card that are not recognized by staff will be required to show picture identification.  

3. After proper identification, parents or individuals listed on the student’s emergency card will be required to sign out their student(s).  

Please take a moment to ensure we have accurate emergency contact information on file at school. 

Please email Linda Ogden, Dean of Students, with any questions.
