Safety Update from Mr. Booth
Week 12: Emergency Procedures
"Practice = Preparedness"
We conduct safety drills to help students respond quickly and calmly in emergencies. This week, we’ll review fire, lockdown, and shelter-in-place procedures. Discussing these drills at home can help ease anxiety and reinforce the importance of listening to trusted adults during an emergency. Practicing helps us all stay safe.
