Dear Families,

We’re happy to share that last week’s walk to our safe haven went really smoothly—our students did a fantastic job following procedures, and we were very pleased with how everything went. Thanks for your support as we work to keep everyone safe!

This week as part of our regular safety practice we'll be conducting a lockdown drill on Tuesday at 2:00 PM. This drill is essential for ensuring that our students and staff are well-prepared for any emergency situation. Please note that during this time, the school office will be briefly closed to minimize disruptions and ensure that the drill is conducted smoothly. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of our school community.

Kind regards,

Bridget Mowbray
