School Safety Tips for September

The 2020 Washington Great ShakeOut is coming soon!

We are all experiencing what happens in times of a statewide threat to our schools. Even in times of COVID, that means: “Drop, Cover, Hold on!”

The official date and time is October 15 at 10:15 am, but any date that works for you and your school community is fine. Make sure you involve your families!

Just be sure to register your school.
