Happy Friday! I am writing to let you know that this morning we had our first schoolwide safety drill. Throughout the school year we will practice a range of required safety drills. Today’s drill was a practice fire drill. Please know that we use a simple and consistent message of safety with students. Teachers explain that sometimes we practice exiting a classroom and lining up on the playground, sometimes we practice "turtle" position (earthquake), and sometimes we practice remaining indoors. Please take comfort in knowing that Reed staff does an excellent job framing every drill as a "whole school practice of safety."
