Tiger Tracks

At Ringgold Primary School, the safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. To ensure that we are well-prepared for various emergency situations, we conduct several types of safety drills throughout the school year. So far this year we have practiced a fire drill, and our next scheduled drill to practice is the intruder drill. We believe it is important for you to be informed about these drills so you can support our efforts and discuss them with your children if needed. Below are the types of drills we conduct:

1. Fire Drills

2. Intruder Drills

3. Severe Weather Drills

We understand that discussions about safety drills can sometimes be unsettling for children. We strive to approach these drills with sensitivity and reassurance, focusing on the importance of being prepared rather than on fear. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where students feel confident and secure.

If you have any questions or concerns about these drills, or if you would like more information on how to discuss them with your child, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of these safety practices at home.

Thank you for your continued partnership in ensuring the safety of our school community.

Introduction to the School Counselor

• Welcome to RPS! I am excited about this school year and the opportunities it offers in working

with your child. As a school counselor, I am an educator trained in school counseling, just as

other educators are trained in math, science, or language arts. My job at RPS is to develop and

implement a comprehensive school counseling program designed to meet the needs of every

student. School counselors work to help all students develop personal/social skills, academic

skills, and career skills that will aid them throughout their educational career and in life. I am

here to help and support you and your family. You may refer your child when you see a need. I

am always glad to talk with you and discuss the counseling program further or any areas of

concern.
