Safety Day and Other Drills 

Lakeside students talk with bus drivers as part of Safety Day at the elementary schools.

Across the district, students and staff practiced the first safety drills of the year. Fire, lockdown, and evacuation drills are the series of drills that students and staff practice during the year. Each of these drills is part of our larger safety and security plan and part of the state requirement.

If you're interested in more information about safety and security, be sure to read the article from the fall School Review.
