To All Parents and Guardians:

The safety of our students and school staff is very important to us. One of the ways we stay safe is by holding school safety drills. To help us practice and learn, we will conduct a lockdown drill between 11/6/2024 and 11/13/2024.

Before we practice a drill, we instruct students and staff on what they need to do. We talk about how the drill will be announced and we always inform students and staff that it is a drill.

After the drill, students and families are encouraged to ask questions. If you have any questions about the drills or other safety concerns, please contact me at 716-376-8326.
