• NYS has enacted a new law that requires schools to give communities warning about when SAFETY DRILLS will be happening. This is being done in an effort to mitigate potential anxiety for learners, parents and caregivers.

Such announcements will be made here, and our first announcement is: There will be a SAFETY DRILL next week.
