Long Evacuation Drill

Our long evacuation drill was moved from Wednesday to Thursday to accommodate some nicer weather. We are so proud of students showing the Byam 3 Rs while conducting a longer off site drill. This drill also gives students familiarity with our rally/reunification point.

PBIS 3R's Location Review...Next week Bathroom 3R's Week!
