Back-to-School Fire Drill

Today we conducted our first fire drill of the new school year.  Following our established protocol, which had already been reviewed with students as part of our back-to-school routine, we are pleased to share that all classrooms were evacuated to their designated locations within a matter of minutes.  Additionally, our protocol of utilizing color-coded signs and the classroom walkie-talkies allowed us to quickly determine that all Saint James School students and staff had safely exited the building.

The safety and well-being of every student entrusted to our care is at the forefront of everything we do here at SJS.  We wanted to bring today’s drill to your attention should you wish to discuss it with your student(s) and perhaps also take this opportunity to remind your children of evacuation plans within your own household.  We will practice fire drills occasionally throughout the year.

If there was a true emergency at Saint James School, our new emergency response notification system would be utilized to reach out to parents and guardians.
