Message from Mrs. Williams
CCI Families,
- 🔒 Upcoming Lockdown Drill: Wednesday, October 9
- As part of our commitment to safety, we will conduct a lockdown drill on Wednesday, October 9, following the ALICE protocol (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate), which empowers students and staff to make informed decisions in an emergency. We understand that drills can feel unsettling, but we approach them with care to ensure everyone is prepared while maintaining a calm and reassuring environment for students. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. Thank you for your support in keeping our school community safe.
- As a reminder, students and parents, please avoid posting online about the drill to prevent any false information that could cause unnecessary panic or disruption.
