Our students will be told about the drill before it occurs and we want them to know that we practice these things so they will be safe in case of a crisis. The fall practice is announced, but there will be an unannounced drill in the spring. We appreciate the help of the Sheriffs Department as we work to make these procedures run smoothly.
