The safety of your child and all children in our schools, as well as the safety of the school staff and support personnel, is very important to us.  In order to maintain a safe environment for our children to study and learn, it is necessary that we practice our emergency and crisis response plans by having drills designed to exercise our procedures.

In the State of New Jersey, schools are mandated to conduct two drills monthly, a fire drill and a security drill. These drills are planned between the administration and law enforcement. Drill dates and times are not made public to anyone outside of the school’s Emergency Management Team. This page is designed to help you understand the importance of this, as well as to understand each type of drill.
