Yesterday we had a lockdown drill to practice. I want to take this opportunity to provide some safety reminders. First, if a lockdown message goes off when you are not in your classroom, you need to stay in the room you are in, or enter the first room available, as quickly as you can. Next, remember that you must never let anyone into our building through any door. During our school day all guests and students must enter through the A Doors or the E Doors. Do not let anyone in through the B, C, D, F, or any other doors.

The stadium remains locked due to the cold temperatures which have caused the irrigation pipes to push the turf up. No one should be on the field today or this weekend or until the stadium is unlocked.

One of the worst things you can do for your health is to vape. And in addition to putting toxins into your body, when you throw used cartridges into the toilet, you cause huge plumbing issues, which usually require us to shut down bathrooms, and cause all kinds of disruption for your fellow students and our school. So, one, don't vape. And two, don't throw used vape, or anything else, into our toilets. On behalf of 2000 of your fellow classmates, thank you.
