Safety Update: Fall Lockdown Drill

This week, our students and staff completed our second lockdown drill of the school year. Everyone did an outstanding job quickly and calmly following our standard safety protocols: locks, lights, and out of sight.

This drill looked a little different than usual, as we had a small group of parents on campus for a student awards assembly when it began. Having visitors experience the drill alongside our students was a great opportunity to show our community how smoothly our school responds in real time. Our students and staff moved into secure positions almost immediately—in fact, the longest part of the drill is simply the time it takes for administration and local law enforcement to thoroughly check the building and release each classroom one by one.

While it is always our hope that we never have to put these procedures to use in a real emergency, seeing how well-prepared and composed our students and staff are gives us great peace of mind. Thank you to our families—and especially our visiting parents this week—for your continued partnership in keeping our school safe.

Please take a moment to review the attached map. The area marked with a red X should NOT be used to enter the car rider line or to exit campus. Typically, this area is blocked by a gate; however, we have been experiencing technical difficulties that have prevented the gates from operating properly. An open gate does not mean the area is an approved entrance or exit.

The attached traffic map was distributed prior to the start of the school year and repeatedly during the first several weeks of school. We ask that all families continue to follow these established procedures to ensure a safe, orderly, and efficient arrival and dismissal process for everyone.

Finally, a friendly reminder that our children are watching and learning from us every day. As adults, we set the example. Following established procedures, even when they may not be the most convenient, is one of the simplest ways we can demonstrate the importance of respecting rules, practicing patience, and doing what is right.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our Primary Eddie students safe!
