Hello Knight Family:
In today’s world, school safety is always a concern. Our priority is to help keep students and faculty/staff safe at school. We had our second of three required fire drills on Thursday, later this school year we will practice our shelter in place in case of a tornado and we are prepared for a lock down. Although it feels like it is always in the news, an active intruder isn’t a common event. However, we still want to be prepared. We use the ALICE model which provides your student with strategies that they will be able to use in any situation, not just at school. Throughout the school year during our flex periods, we have worked on how to respond. Beginning next week, Mr. Seal and Mrs. Seegmiller will meet with each grade level to review the plan. Students will be versed in all aspects of ALICE. On Friday, October 18th, we will have a drill to practice the options of locking down, countering, and evacuating. (You will receive a separate email with more information.) We also have implemented an easy way for students to report anything that they are concerned about by using our “See Something, Say Something” form. This is located in their bookmarks on their chromebooks. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or email.
Each class has about 50 discount cards left to sell! We will be selling at some of our home games and parent teacher conferences. We would love your help in finishing up these sales!
Tonight is the porkchop dinner at the fairgrounds for FFA on your way to the football game and don’t forget the Open House on Tuesday before/after volleyball!
Mrs. Seegmiller
