Good afternoon!
On Tuesday, October 11, the high school and grade school students and staff will participate in an Evacuation Drill at 2:00 p.m. To protect students and staff in the event of a dangerous situation, including a bomb threat, gas leak, fire, active shooter, etc., preparation is critical so that students and staff understand their roles if an adverse event should occur. The drill will also help school leadership evaluate and improve the protocols in place to ensure the highest levels of safety for all.
The upcoming drill will involve evacuations to designated safe locations. The K-6 students and staff will evacuate to the NW campus and the JR/Sr High School students and staff will evacuate to the bus barn. Pre-K students and staff will walk to the United Methodist Church.
To help facilitate the drill, the Ellis Police Department will be on hand. The district office will also send a PRACTICE alert to calibrate our system. After a debrief at each location, students will then walk back to their assigned buildings. Kindergarten and 1st grade will ride a bus back to their school sites.
Thank you for trusting us to keep your children safe.
