Around 2 PM today, our emergency alarm system went off unexpectedly, and the building, including students and staff, evacuated per protocol. Everyone was able to return to the building, which was surveyed, and all appears to be ok. The reason for the alarm system going off is now under review. The evacuation happened per usual process and we thank our team members, community members, and parents who were onsite for school pick up for their patience and understanding through this evacuation.
