Hello Rice Creek Families,
Just a couple of notes:
Yesterday, we had a school-wide lockdown drill with intruder where we practiced gathering in a hidden corner of the classroom with the doors locked. Shortly before the drill, we had a discussion with the children about what this would look like and why we practice this type of drill. Basically, we let the children know that the guides' most important job is to keep all of them safe, and that practicing this type of drill allows us to make sure we have done all we can. We wanted to let you know of this drill since it might bring up further questions at home, but also so you could even take the opportunity to have an intentional conversation with your child about this unfortunate reality (if you feel that would be appropriate).
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

First grade students will be coming home with a sheet for families to fill out and return to school. This is connected to work we are doing on making personal timelines. Thanks so much for looking out for this in their folders.
Warm regards,
Nadine
