Student Safety Plan Presentation
As part of our comprehensive approach to school safety, annually, we share our school safety plan with our students during an assembly. We cover the aspects of the plan that directly involve the students so they know what to do if there were an unfortunate safety situation at school. In addition, we emphasize the parts of the plan and their role in ensuring a safe and secure school building. Some of these components include:
- not propping doors at any time
- never letting someone in from the outside
- allow our staff to follow our protocols for allowing someone into the building
- if you see or know something that seems off, saying something to an adult/school official is critical.
Other presentation components included how to respond to an active shooter situation (Run, Hide, Fight) and where our evacuation location is for them to reunify the school during an evacuation. Today, we had a class meeting with the juniors and seniors during their advisory period for this presentation. Toward the end of the month, we will have a class meeting with the freshmen and sophomores. We encourage you to talk to your student about today's presentation, and if you have any questions, please contact a school administrator. May God continue to bless NDA and keep us safe.

Be Well NDA - October -
Coping Techniques
This month for Be Well NDA we are practicing coping techniques for when stress gets high. It’s inevitable that stress will happen in life, work, or school to name a few. It’s good to have health coping mechanisms for when life gets tough. We can also practice these skills when life is good, too. Students will be hearing about these techniques throughout the month and hopefully practicing them. If you have a healthy technique that works for you when life gets stressful, share it with your kids this month. See the links below for additional reading on this topic.
