CRLS FINANCIAL AID NIGHT
Wednesday, Dec. 5th at 6pm Main Cafeteria
|
Lockdown Drill:
The Cambridge Public School District has recently completed a comprehensive review and revision of school emergency procedures. An outcome of this review is that lockdown drills will be introduced in every school this year and will be practiced annually going forward. While we do not expect or anticipate a situation that requires a lockdown, as a school community, we need to be prepared for all emergencies.
The lockdown drill is a key element of our Emergency Preparedness Planning. Please contact the school at (617) 349-6630 if you have questions or concerns regarding the lockdown drill on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 10:15 AM .
