Fundraiser & Lock-down Info.

The walk-athon will take place on Wednesday, October 14th. It is an annual fund-raiser for our School Council and parent volunteers run the event... so thank you to all those who volunteer!

Grades 1-6 will be walking at 9:00 and the four Kindergarten classes will begin their own walk at 10:30.
A pledge form went home earlier this week.  _____________________________________________
    
For Your Information:

In the near future, we will be practicing a school lockdown.  This includes locking the classroom door, covering all windows, turning off lights, and sitting quietly on the floor in a safe area of the room until the Principal comes in with our school Police Resource Officer.

We do not offer any kind of detailed explanation about why we practice this. 
If asked, we say something vague like, "In case a dog came into school and we didn't know whether it was a friendly dog or not, we will hide so the dog will just go away."  
We don't want small children becoming afraid, so please don't go into detail about why the school must practice these procedures.
