Lockdown Drill This Week

Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for all of us. We have a crisis management and emergency preparedness plan for our school that is reviewed and updated regularly. Our plan includes procedures on how to respond to incidents such as fires and tornadoes. Students and staff regularly practice these drills every school year. We also practice lockdown drills.

Virginia Law requires schools to notify parents before a school practices a lockdown drill. However, we are not required to share the exact time and date of the drill. We are required to practice lockdown drills two times a year; the upcoming drill we be our second and final drill this year.

We will conduct a lockdown drill at our school this week. 

Keeping our school safe and secure for all students and staff involves the participation of the entire school community, and we thank you for your help to keep our school safe.
