School Safety protocol update
This morning KCC Peace Officers conducted a full scan of students entering the school as part of our ongoing effort to test our safety protocols and keep students safe. This was only a test initiated as a follow up to the intruder alert drill and safety lessons the students received last week.
Report Cards
5th Marking Period Report Cards will be distributed at the end of B Band on Thursday May 8th.
Practice Inturder Alert drill
In order to promote awareness regarding school safety protocol and to better prepare students and staff for any emergency situation, our school in collaboration with KCC Security participated in an “intruder alert” drill this morning (4/30/08). This practice alert followed a lesson all students received during their “B” band classes yesterday regarding school safety issues. Yesterday's short video presentation, prepared lessons, and class discussion illustrated to the students what to do during a variety of emergency situations. The drill went very well with the protocol put into place very quickly and effectively. As the saying goes "Practice makes Perfect."
