We had errors with many of our parent codes. We are in the process of working with Blue Ribbon to generate new codes to send home. Thank you for your patience and for letting us know the codes were not functional. It takes a village to get the work done!

As you all know, we have several different types of safety drills that we practice at school. We do everything we can on our end to ensure that students are prepared and do not feel afraid. This book was shared with us and we wanted to share it with you! It is a really helpful and child friendly way of sharing a tough and scary topic with our children.

We practiced our lockdown drill this morning and our students were amazing!

Everyone can participate, but participation is completely optional.

Who: 5th - 8th grade students

When: Morning team - 7:30 - 8:00, Afternoon team - 3:00 - 3:25; a rotating schedule will be shared with weekly assignments (students will not have duty each week)

*To participate, students need to be at school by 7:30 OR able to stay until 3:25 daily.

Where: AAA Carline

Why: Safety Patrol participants will assist students into and out of vehicles, retrieve students whose ride is waiting but have not come to the carline, and other safety functions of our arrival and dismissal processes.
