BMS Families,
Today we practiced a Secure Drill for about 10 minutes in which we used the “Secure” process outlined in our MSD Emergency Operations plan. In a “Secure” situation, there is a danger outside and we need to have all of our students and staff secured inside. During a “Secure,” business as usual continues inside - students continue learning and teachers continue teaching. Students were informed of the drill ahead of time in the morning announcements and by their classroom teachers. An announcement was made just before the drill began reminding students it was a drill. We then practiced our "Evacuate" process for our October Fire Drill.
We will practice various drills throughout the school year. Some will be announced, others will not. We will always communicate with families after the drill. We practice so we are ready in a real emergency.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Johnston @ katie.johnston@meeker.k12.co.us or 970-878-9060 Ext 202.
Warmly,
Katie Johnston
BMS Principal
