Dear Kenston Families,
Today as previously announced, we conducted a planned safety/intruder drill in conjunction with the Bainbridge Police Department. I am proud of the way that students, faculty and staff handled themselves and understood the importance of this simulation. We will continue to conduct drills and exercises to prepare, prevent and respond to emergencies.
As part of the drill, teachers in an age-appropriate way discussed:
- importance and purpose of the drill
- drill procedures
- follow-up
As a next step, building administrators will talk/meet with their staff and safety forces to evaluate today’s drill and identify areas to improve the existing procedures. Thank you to our local law enforcement officials who partnered with us on site to observe and critique the drill. The feedback gathered today will be used by the District Safety Committee to make our Emergency procedures stronger.
We are committed to taking proactive preventative measures to establish a positive, safe and caring school environment. Parents, we encourage you to use this opportunity to talk to your child about continued school safety and what they learned and experienced during today's drill.
Sincerely,
