From The Safety Committee.

We want to keep our kids safe at school.  In order to assure that they are safe and well prepared for any emergency, Mrs. Roche and her Safety Committee have prepared a schedule so that parents can be prepared too.

Fire drills, Lockouts, Lockdowns and Earthquake drills will be done on a monthly rotating schedule throughout the year.  Below is the master list of dates so you can mark your calendar.  During the winter months, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately to be in the snow and mud in the field.  This will make the drill a much better experience.  I will also post a reminder before each drill.

Lockout      Monday, October 7 @ 9 am
