On Friday we will practice our evacuation drill.  During this drill all of the students will walk to the west side of the Canyon Park.  We practice this in case there is ever a need to leave the school.  The Canyon Park would be the pickup point for buses and parents to pick up students if we were ever unable to return to the school for dismissal.

Picture Day will be on Friday, September 19th.
