Safety Drills

Fire Drill Preparation

Safety is our top priority, and practicing routine responses helps ensure our students feel calm and prepared in any situation. On Thursday, September 3rd at 1:00, our school will conduct a planned Fire drill.

How We Support Our Students During Drills:

Visual & Social Prep: Staff will review social stories and visual schedules with students prior to the drill so they know what to expect.
Sensory Supports: Noise-canceling headphones, sensory tools, and designated quiet spaces will be accessible throughout the practice.
Staff Guidance: 1:1 and small-group staff will guide students through each step at a manageable pace to minimize anxiety.

No action is needed from you, but you are welcome to talk with your child about safety practice at home using your usual routines. If your child requires specific accommodations during safety events that we haven't already discussed, please reach out to your classroom team. I have attached some supports that you may use at home.
