I would just like to reinforce some of the information from the superintendent. The children will be supervised and as safe as is humanly possible. In case of a lock down no one will be allowed in or out of the building.

• Please fill out the attached form and return to school ASAP. It is crucial for us to have the correct updated information immediately.
• We are stocking some non-perishable food and water in the building.
• We have several walkie-talkies in the building as well as battery operated radios.
• Field trips are being limited. We will make a decision on the 8th grade vocations Mass as the time nears.
• If you would like to send in an emergency pack for your child you may do so. Please include:
• change of clothes
• bottle of water
• small blanket
• small flashlight with batteries
• non-perishable snack

Please put these items in a small bag labeled with your child's name (no suitcases or backpacks)

• If your child takes medication at home, you may send a dose or two in a marked container with name and dosage to be kept in the office.
• If we go to a lock down situtation prior to dismissal for the day and it continues, the children will not go home on the bus.
• If we go to an emergency closing without a lock down, the buses will transport children home if you indicate that on the form.
• We will make every effort to put information on the web site. However, electricity and phone lines may not be availalle.
• Please do not call the school. We will need to keep the phone lines open if they are operative.
• Let me re-assure you that the safety and well-being of our children is our top priority. We will do everything in our power to provide for their welfare.

Mrs. J. DeLucco
