School Safety Drill Presentations

Dear Placentino Families,

Today, students in kindergarten through second grade attended grade-level safety presentations in the library with School Resource Officer Beltrane and Assistant Principal Mrs. Cordero. These developmentally appropriate presentations helped students learn and review important ways to stay safe. Preschool presentations will take place next week.

We began with familiar safety practices, such as wearing a seat belt in the car and a helmet when riding a bike or scooter. We then reviewed fire drills, which students have already practiced this year, before introducing our school safety drill procedures.

Throughout the presentations, we emphasized three simple actions: STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN to their teacher or another trusted adult. Students learned that, depending on the situation, they may be directed to remain in their classroom or leave with their teacher.

The slides from today’s presentations are linked below for your review. We encourage you to use them to support conversations with your child about following adult directions during safety drills.

We appreciate our students’ thoughtful participation as we work together to keep our school community safe. If you have any questions or would like to discuss our safety procedures, please reach out.

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Cheryl Cordero

Assistant Principal
