EAWR will conduct a staff-only reunification drill today, September 25, from 12:30–2:30 p.m.
No students or families are participating in this exercise.
During this time, community members may notice an increased police presence on campus, school buses leaving campus, and police vehicles accompanying the buses to an off-site reunification location. These are planned parts of the drill.
There is no emergency or threat to our school.
This exercise allows EAWR staff and local first responders to practice communication, accountability, transportation, and reunification procedures.
We appreciate the support of our first responders, community partners, and staff as we continue strengthening EAWR’s emergency-preparedness procedures.
