All School Announcements
Message from Dr. Breuder:
Next week students will participate in a Lockdown Drill. A “lockdown drill” is to keep students safe from any danger inside and outside the building. After an announcement, students go to the nearest classroom (if in the hallway); teachers check the hallway, lock their doors and make sure the windows are covered. Students and staff remain in a locked classroom until they receive notice that the lockdown is over. To make sure everyone is safe, no one is allowed to enter or exit the building.
We know drills can be stressful, so we want to remind students (and adults) that drills are an important part of keeping our community safe. We want to be able to respond calmly and safely in the event of an emergency, so we practice at least one emergency drill per month. This month is a Lockdown Drill. Teachers and staff will go over the emergency procedures with students, but we always like to give a heads-up to families around this specific drill. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Message from Mr. Zetterberg:
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Hazel Wolf December 12-18! This is a big fundraiser for our school library and a chance to connect with your children about great books! We will need your help to make this event run smoothly. If you are cleared to volunteer and able to help, please sign up.
