School Safety Drills:
Each month the school practices a safety drill (fire, tornado, or A.L.I.C.E.).
The A.L.I.C.E. drill is designed to teach children what to do in the event of an agressive intruder in the school. During the month of November, Mr. Fletcher and Sr. Peter Marie will be talking to each of the classrooms about the school's A.L.I.C.E. procedures.
Safety is always an important part of our culture here at OLMC, and we sincerely thank you for your continued support of our safety procedures and drills. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Tim Fletcher- fletchert@olmc1.org
