Safety Drills
We take the safety of students and staff very seriously. To keep our students safe, we conduct drills each year. Those include:
- Tornado Drills
- Fire Drills
- Safety Drills
While we are all familiar with Tornado and Fire drills, Safety Drills are something most of us did not experience in our school days. Because of instances that have occurred across the country; all schools are now required to conduct Safety Drills twice a year in each building to prepare students and staff to respond to safety concerns. During those drills, we partner with the Heath Police Department using the latest techniques. We don’t publish the specific actions we take because it is important that we don’t disclose information that may put our students or staff at risk.
