This Friday, October 25th 2024, Brophy students and staff will be participating in an evacuation drill.

We wanted to share with you some information regarding the drills for your knowledge and for if you would like to talk to your child about it.

Brophy students have been given the lockdown and evacuation lesson previously. This and all safety lessons were created to be developmentally appropriate and trauma informed using resources from Safe and Sound Schools. Our focus is to ensure that students understand safety procedures, know that adults are there to help them, but not to have in depth conversations about potential emergencies.

Family Resources:

We encourage you to discuss safety topics with your child at home to ensure they have the knowledge and skills needed to navigate potential emergencies. Here are some resources that you may find helpful:

Sesame School: School Safety Drills (English and Spanish)

Healthy Children.Org What Parents Need to Know (English and Spanish)

National Association of School Psychologists (English/ Spanish/ Portuguese)

Thank you,
