PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE: April 5, 2004

April 7 Disaster and Student Release Drill
As you have seen in flyers and my previous messages, this Wednesday Hall will be participating in a county-wide disaster preparedness drill. We will be executing a Level II Drill with a student release drill. While we understand that this student release drill may cause some inconvenience, it is essential that our emergency response procedures are effective. The only way to make them effective is to actually practice them.

The student release portion of the drill will begin at 1:55pm. Please go directly to the drop off circle to begin the process. Staff will be there to guide and direct you. During the drill students will not be permitted to walk home or to leave campus unless they are picked up by a parent or individual on their emergency card. In the event of a real emergency, we would not allow students to leave campus until they are picked up by a contact person. Keep in mind that in the event of a real emergency, phone contact may very well be impossible, at least temporarily. The safest place for your child to be in that case would be with adult supervision at school.

This drill will end when the school day ends at 3:10pm. At that time any student who has not been picked up will be dismissed to go home as they would normally.

Please see the attached flyer for more information. Do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.
—Daniel Norbutas, Principal

LIBRARY NEWS
School Library Catalogs – Now Online The Neil Cummins and Hall Library catalogs are now accessible online. Just go to the Library web pages and do your book searching in the comfort of your own home. We hope this will be helpful when students are working on projects or just looking for a good book. In the future we hope to provide the opportunity for the placement of online holds.

Thank you! As always, thanks to all who support our libraries. Remember that these collections are available for parents as well as students. Call or come by the libraries any time!

Cartridges for Kids Just a reminder! The Library continues to raise money by recycling your old printer cartridges. Send in those empty ink jet and laser cartridges and we will do the rest. Old cell phones can be recycled as well. Thanks!
