Early Dismissal Drill on Friday, October 3
This is a reminder about our upcoming annual "Go Home Early Drill," a practice required by New York State to ensure our School Emergency Management Plan is effective.
On Friday, October 3, 2025, all students will be dismissed from school 15 minutes early. The goal of this drill is to test our transportation and communication systems so they can operate smoothly in a real emergency.

There have been a few incidents recently where children were approached by strangers on their way to or from school or while waiting for the bus. We want to thank the students who did the right thing by immediately reporting what happened, which allowed police to respond promptly.
Your child's safety is our top priority, and we ask that you take a moment to review and reinforce important safety habits with them. Please remind your child to always report anything that seems suspicious to a trusted adult, whether it's a parent, teacher, or police officer. Having these conversations can give them the confidence to respond safely in any situation.
