In preparation for the storm that is expected to impact Southern California, our school has taken several precautions to ensure the safety of our students, including:

• Reviewing school safety plans and training to address the potential impact of inclement weather
• Securing or relocating all objects that may become airborne or prone to wind damage
• Keeping students and staff away from areas with tree branches that could be damaged by high wind
• Addressing areas prone to flooding
• Modifying or cancelling outdoor activities
• Reviewing emergency water, food and first aid supplies

Our school is one of the safest places for students to be in the event of inclement weather. In addition to our strong safety protocols, we will continue to communicate with District operations and local officials to ensure the safety of everyone on campus.

• Repaso de los planes escolares de seguridad y capacitación para hacer frente al impacto potencial de las inclemencias del tiempo

• Asegurar o reubicar todos los objetos que puedan ser levantados por el aire o que puedan ser dañados por el viento.
