Bracetti Families,

This afternoon, students and staff participated in our monthly safety drill. The school had a Shelter-in-Place drill that lasted approximately 15 minutes. Students followed the directions of teachers, moved quickly to the designated Shelter-in-Place locations and were active participants. A Shelter-in-Place is called in the event of a natural or man-made disaster, such as a chemical substance released into the air, that prevents anyone from leaving the building.

Thank you to our students and staff for understanding the importance of these drills and for cooperating.

Please reach out with questions or concerns.
