Safety Drill Information
A fire drill was conducted at the Middle School on Thursday, September 12. Please take a moment to discuss the importance of these drills and overall safety with your student.
In the event of a real emergency, the school will use our email and text messaging system to communicate with parents. (Learn more about updating your contact information.) During an active emergency, we ask that you refrain from calling the school or sharing information on social media, as this allows us to work more effectively with authorities.
