From the Principal

May 2, 2008

To All Parents, Guardians and Students of Cosgrove,

Today, we had a Level 1 Lockdown Drill as part of a scheduled emergency plan. Students were kept in their classrooms for a brief period of time while the building was secured. Once the building was locked down and the drill was over, we communicated to all students and staff that this drill was conducted to practice our internal procedures. Similar to fire drills, we will continue our practice of emergency drills to ensure that we will follow the appropriate steps to maximize our students’ safety. I was pleased with our staff’s response and quick action today.

Student and staff safety is my number one priority. These lockdown and fire drills are an excellent way for us to make sure that we will be adequately prepared in the event of a real emergency. Please speak with your child about the importance and seriousness of these drills.

If you would like to communicate any concerns or feedback after speaking with your child, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

Ned Dale Principal
