A message from Mr. Miller:
Each year, our school is required to conduct a “Lock-down Drill” with the participation of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department. It is important to note that this drill does NOT include a simulation of gun fire in any form. Instead, the drill involves students and staff being placed in an area of the classroom away from windows with doors locked and lights turned off as law enforcement and school officials briefly tour the building.
As parents, you have the option of having your child opt-out of this drill. Should you decide to implement this option, your child will be directed to an alternate classroom and a staff member will simply read the proper safety procedures to follow in the event of an actual lock-down situation.
Should you decide to have your child “opt out” of this drill or if you have any questions please contact the school office prior to the week of Monday, September 20, 2021.
