School Safety Drills

Each school year, we conduct twelve drills (eight fire drills and four lockdown drills) to ensure our students and staff are prepared in the event of an emergency. You will receive advance notice from the Principal through ParentSquare the week prior to any scheduled drills. These messages will include resources tailored to your child’s developmental stage to help you talk with them about the purpose of these drills and why they matter.

Our goal is to cultivate a culture of calm confidence, where students feel safe, supported, and empowered to respond appropriately during any situation. Practicing these drills not only helps us meet safety standards, but also strengthens our collective preparedness and care for one another.
