October 26, 2023 - Today we practiced lockdown drills in our elementary and middle school buildings. We were assisted by officers from local law enforcement. The students and staff handled the drill very well and we would like to commend everyone on their attention to the matter. It is important that we periodically practice these drills as part of our regular safety procedures. Schools in New York are required to conduct a minimum of four lockdown drills each school year. If you have any questions, please contact your building principal.
