Dear Parents and Guardians,

I want to inform you of a situation that occurred at school today to ensure clear and accurate communication.

Earlier today, our school briefly entered a soft lockdown due to a medical situation within the building. During a soft lockdown, normal classroom activities continue while hallway movement is limited so staff can effectively respond to the situation.

At no time were students or staff in danger. This was strictly a precautionary measure to allow our team and emergency responders to address the medical need quickly and safely.

The situation has been resolved, and the school day has returned to normal operations.

Reminder of tomorrow's Region X instrumental festival at Trinity. Bus leaves at 8:30am

Play Practice Update

There will be no play practice after school today (March 13).

Looking ahead to next week:
• Wednesday, March 18 – 1:00 PM dismissal
• No school Thursday, March 19 or Friday, March 20

Thank you!
