[Mjhsteam] Safety Drill at MJHS

[Kleinert, Dale]

Dear Parents, 

This morning, MJHS participated in a building Safety Drill that
consisted of locking down the building, and then evacuating all
classrooms.  We were on our homeroom time schedule and let students and
teachers know about the drill, in advance. After we locked all rooms
down, we utilized our intercom system, and directed clusters of rooms to
evacuate to a designated area until the building was empty. 

>From all accounts, our students followed instructions and moved calmly
to the new location. Our office staff, teaching staff, and our Moscow
Police Department observers were impressed with the responsiveness of
students and staff.  Once we had all students accounted for, we had
everyone return to class to resume the rest of the day's schedule.

As you might visit with your son or daughter over the day's drill, we
would be interested in hearing about any significant concerns and/or
suggestions from the students' point of view.  We've also asked for
their input through a special bulletin, which was read following the
drill. I have asked staff members to provide their comments also, so our
protocol can be as smooth as possible. 

We believe that our preparation and practice will help us to be ready,
if and when an emergency situation might develop.

Dale Kleinert, Principal 
Moscow Junior High School
