Another
9/11
We want to assure you that your child’s safety
is uppermost in our minds, and to that end, we want
to explain what our procedures will be in case of another
“9/11 type” emergency to facilitate an early
dismissal.
In case it is needed, the administration will instruct
all the students to proceed to their homerooms. Faculty
and staff will be at different posts throughout the
school to instruct parents on where to pick up their
children.
Students will be in their homerooms and will be released
as indicated by the parent/guardian in the student release
form that was given to each student. It is of the utmost
importance that your child’s homeroom teacher
has this form filled out and signed by a parent/guardian.
