A note from the Safety Committee: “Please note that on Wednesday mid-morning there will be 15 minutes during the lockdown drill that you will not be able to check in or out any student.  If this may affect you, please contact Mr. Perdue in advance and he can give you more details.  Friday will also be our Bike Rodeo so please have your students ride their bikes or scooters to school that day.  They will need to wear a helmet to participate in the bike rodeo at school so please remember to send them with a helmet.  It will be weather dependent so if it's raining or snowing the Bike Rodeo will be canceled. We look forward to a great week. Thank you for all your support.”
