Dear Tiger Families, Keeping students and staff safe is a priority for all of us. We have a crisis management and emergency preparedness plan for our school that is reviewed and updated regularly. Our plan includes procedures on how to respond to incidents such as fires and tornadoes. Students and staff regularly practice these drills every school year. We also practice lockdown drills. A Virginia Law (22.1-137.2) requires schools to have a lockdown drill in the first 20 days of school and notify parents at least 24 hours before a school practices that drill. However, we are not required to share the exact date and time of the drill. We are also required to practice lockdown drills two additional times during the school year. We will conduct the next drill between Friday, October 11th and Friday, October 18th, 2024. Keeping our school safe and secure for all students and staff involves the participation of the entire school community, and we thank you for your help in keeping our school safe. Sincerely, Dr. Karin Reavis Principal

October is National Principals Month! Please join SCPS in recognizing these building leaders who support our Sussex County students and local area regional communities!
