To keep Roosevelt safe, we run a safety drill each month as required by state and district policies. This Thursday, we will run a required shelter-in-place drill. It's one of our simplest drills, with students and staff staying in classrooms and continuing with learning activities, and it's completed in under 5 minutes. Especially for younger students, teachers discuss in simple, non-threatening language the importance of being ready and safe during an emergency. Parents can have a conversation at home to help children know that we all work together to stay safe at school.
