Practice Shelter-in-Place Drill

Dear Dragon Families,

On Thursday, May 13th, 21st Century will perform a Shelter-In-Place Drill. During this time, parents and visitors outside the school will not be admitted into the building until the drill has lifted. Students will remain in or be escorted to classrooms where instruction will continue after attendance is taken and reported.

This another practice drill through A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) procedure. This practice drill is designed to test the implementation of the Public Education Department safety procedures to keep our students as safe as possible. Please feel free to discuss the procedures with your student. The Shelter-In-Place drills are a precautionary routine to keep students and staff as safe as possible indoors, during an emergency event.

Please note that you will not be able to pick up your student starting at 12:30PM. You will be able to sign your student out after the drill is completed approximately 1:15PM.

Feel free to contact me if there are questions about the drill. Thank you for your support as we aspire to keep all students safe through these precautionary exercises.

Bianca Belmonte-Sapien, Principal
