Spring District-wide Lockdown Exercise 

On Thursday, Feb. 17, we will conduct a lockdown drill to practice safety procedures for the event of violence or threat of violence on or near campus. 

This action is taken when the threat of violence or gunfire is identified or directed by law enforcement and it is necessary to prevent the perpetrator(s) from entering any occupied campus areas. 

This action is to secure the school during police actions, campus intrusions, community incidents, or other real or perceived threats to the security of the school. 

During a lockdown, students are to always remain in the locked classrooms or designated safe locations.

Please be aware that the school will be locked and secured during the lockdown drill, so you will need to plan ahead  for your visit to campus on that date.

Asphalt Repair

Workers came out on Friday, February 11th to repair the massive damage done by the tree's roots next to Room 14. The roots were cut back, so we're hoping we won't have to lose the tree. We're so happy to have a safer walkway for our community!
