Evacuation Yesterday

Good morning all,

Thank you so much for your quick response to yesterday’s alarm. Only a local alarm was triggered by a science lab, rather than the whole school alarm, which is why so many of us (SET included) did not hear it. There was no danger, but I appreciate that everyone acted quickly in the interest of student safety. We will review procedures to ensure clear communication should something like that happen again. Thanks!
