W.E.S. Safety Announcement
September 13th, 2024
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you about an upcoming safety drill that is scheduled to take place early next week. Please be assured that this is only a practice exercise to ensure the safety and preparedness of our students and staff in the event of an emergency.
Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
1. **This is a Drill:** As mentioned, this is only a practice drill. There is no real emergency. Our primary goal is to ensure that our school community is well-prepared in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
2. **Safety and Preparedness:** These drills help us assess and improve our readiness to respond to various situations. It is an essential part of maintaining a safe environment for all students and staff.
3. **Student Cooperation:** Please reassure your child that this is a standard procedure and not a cause for alarm. We have explained the purpose of the drill to our students to minimize any anxiety. Remember: Locks, Lights, Out-of-Site
4. **Emergency Contact:** In the event of a real emergency, we will promptly notify parents and provide information through our usual communication channels. Please make sure after the drill is concluded, your contact information with the school is up to date.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we conduct this important safety drill. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office or your child's teacher.
Thank you for your support in helping us ensure the safety and well-being of our students.
Sincerely,
Claire Garrett
Principal, Washington Elementary School
